Hey all,

So does making and receiving calls and text messages over a wifi network really work if I have No Service?

If so, are they really free, or are there hidden catches? If anyone can help, please tell me which apps are the best and what I should expect...

Thanks.
 
o well them, obviously they'll work like advertised. i thought you might be talking about the regular phone app and messages. sorry. they should be free, besides the cost of the app.

Skype to skype is free. Skype to anything else costs money. You have to buy "credits".
 
Skype to skype will eventually be paid too, they were already supposed to implement that change but pushed it back. fwiw.
 
I really wish apple would implement UMA functions in there phones. So often i am in places that have little to no phone reception and lovely high speed broadband, but it is no use to me whatsoever on my iPhone. However my colleagues on there blackberries are chatting away with no problems!
 
You should think about picking up a microcell from AT&T. It's only $150/no monthly fee. It would hook up to your Internet and essentially be like "wifi" so your messages would go through.
