VoIP On the iPhone? Please.
Filed in archive Companies by Dameon Welch-Abemathy on August 23, 2007

The iPhone? No third-party applications that aren't on a web browser. Certainly no VoIP applications on the handset itself. AT&T would likely not allow it. There's no way to do an IP-based call from the iPhone that I am aware of.
There are plenty of VoIP-enabled services that are cool, but use it on the backend. For example, GrandCentral, TalkPlus, Jajah, Jangl, Numbr, and a metric ton of others. The call to or from the mobile handset occurs over the mobile phone network.
When I see blog posts like this one from Vinay over at Free VoIP Solution that says VoIP is coming to the iPhone, I have to call BS. Oh sure, their product works with the safari
browser on the iPhone, so what? Most of the other services I mention also probably work with the iPhone browser as well. Jajah posted a video to YouTube showing how it works. Do they bring VoIP to the iPhone too? Bah!Am I right or am I being overly precise in my expectations? Post your thoughts in the comments.
