iPod touch Voip - Pimp my Touch (tips)

[JohnHawkins]

looking for tips on making my touch more voip friendly

I was thinking skype unlimited plan and use fring...but wasn't really sure about what other people were using for a mic

feel free to recommend anything...just looking to figure out what is the BEST way for me to do this and would like to hear what other people have or know about as an option

I find Fring with Skype and especially SkypeOut can have a lot of delay and voice quality poor. A couple of the native SIP apps are better. TruPhone has good quality, but you are tied to Truphone and cannot use any other provider. They are a bit more expensive too. SipPhone has been good for me and I can use the free calls provided by the likes of VoipStunt. However, you have to pay for the SipPhone app. If you have a jailbroken Touch you can use SIPHONE. Haven't tried it myself but I've heard it's quite good.

Have you got a 1st or 2nd gen Touch? The type of mic will depend on which Touch you have.
