[Asterisk-Users] SIP Client for Symbian

[dean collins]

I'm in NY (was in Australia) I have flat rate GPRS and utilize it for
streaming audio on a regular basis (shoutcasts etc)

$49 a month flat rate gprs through AT&T

No if I was still in Sydney I'd continue to use my www.iburst.com.au it
just came on the market as I left, wireless dsl speeds, covers almost
all of the Sydney region with Canberra this year and 5 other cities to
follow next year.

No that with the new sony U71 cant be beat.



Cheers,
Dean

Maybe you should experience what is available in the states. I don't see
enough bandwidth nor a reasonable cost just yet in gprs service to
justify it over plain old celular time. 

For instance, my GPRS is billed at 1 cent per K or $10.24 per meg. Can
you see how quickly a VoIP call would rack up the price of the call?
Most cell plans offer free nights and weekends for limited to no extra
cost. Data keeps costing no matter the time. Also most cell plans are
under 10 cents per minute without needing anything other than a standard
phone on the other side.

As for the few plans I have seen around for $80 a month to get unlimited
network on the phones, I haven't seen that they are capable of the speed
needed to get the calls through it. And again, at 10 cents a minute,
thats a lot of time calling on the phone.
