iPhone with VOIP access

[truehoosier]

Hi,
I was just wondering if it's possible to get VOIP access with the iPhone. I'm looking for alternative solutions to solve my poor reception in my apartment. Any ideas?
Thanks

Is your iPhone jailbroken?

No, it's not.

You should jailbreak it then.


Go to www.ziphone.org, download, and just hit the jailbreak option.

Then, follow this. This is a great application for VOIP access.

Once, ithe jailbreak is complete, can I use my personal Wi-Fi network to make calls w/o using my minutes? Also, once the jailbreak is installed I will not be able to update the iPhone. Is that correct?
Thanks Again

Yes, that is how it is used. You might be able to use it on EDGE too, but it works best for WiFi, and it's of course free.


You can, but the jailbreak won't be there. It's highly likely though that with the new firmware, it will be jailbreaked rather quickly.

So in the mean time until the next firmware update, which will be at the end of June, Jailbreak away.

Why not just wait for June when Skype will most likely make their own official app?
