@all,

But using iSkoot isn't as it is a call back service rather than actually giving you free Skype to Skype or VOIP calls. Frnig is your best bet IMO a truly great free app that delivers a quality service IMHO.

But there maybe situations where iSkoot is superior. I use both applications. In Germany I do have a phone flatrate to landline numbers. ISkoot uses a landline number to call other skype users. But I do not have a data flatrate. As long I am in my homecountry, I can use iSkoot for free to call other skype user - but would have to pay the data transfer with fring - as long as there is no free wlan access.

@dominique

But the initial part of your communications are over a GSM cell call to ISkoot to initialize the call what is this cost of this? of course correct me if i am wrong but that is how i understood iSkoot to work and why i was never interested in it.

I use Fring for Skype to Skype calls or Skype out for international calls and it costs me no more or less than using my home setup as i have an unlimited data plan on my devices or use WiFi. Fring is free to use and provides true Skype free and cheap calls. Every one is of course free to use what suits them best but for me Fring really delivers.

First there is a data connection with a very little data traffic to ISkoot to show me the online status of my Skype contacts and to chat (with the next version of ISkoot). As soon as I hit "Call" ISkoot dials a local Landline number and uses it as a Gateway to Skype (for the duration of the whole call). This Landline number is covered by my phone flatrate - so no costs for me there.

It heavily depends on you phone/data plan, wifi availability and current location which solution is cheaper. As both applications are free, I use them both with pleasure

Hi,

I have used the OptiMobile UniPhone for a months now and with the latest release 1.2.2 is the best mobile VoIP product in the market today. It was little problem in the beginning but the first version of P1 version was more the reason (bad WiFi drivers etc).

I test a lot of different Dual Mode phones (both GSM/3G and WiFi with VoIP SIP client) include Nokia E65, E61i, E90 and now also SonyEricsson P1 with OptiMobile UniPhone client.

If you compare SonyEricsson P1 with Nokias phones:
+ Uniphone has much better sound quality
+ Even with bad networks with lot of latency and jitter it is good quality
+ When I talk with OptiMobile they told me that next release also will support seamless handover between WiFi and Cellular networks. This could not any Nokia phone handle today
+ The WiFi and SIP setting is much more simplier to do in the UniPhone client
+ VoIP is also working pretty good over the UMTS networks. With flatrate data subscription it is possible to save a lot of money.
+ Great to have several SIP account and connect to different WiFi AP. I have set up one account for Home and one for Enterprise. In my home I call out thry my VoIP operator and in the Enterprise I call all my call thru our SIP based PBX system.
+ Compare with Fring OptiMobile Uniphone is working. According to OptiMobile website http://www.optimobile.se they has developed this VoIP client together with SonyEricsson. The most others vendors has try to design a own client without any cooperation. This is very difficult to success with this advance software.
+ In the Swedish Magazine Mobil http://www.mobil.se/programtips_visa.asp?pId=500 the OptiMobile UniPhone get 8 of 10 points in the last test recomend buy. And finally how could you say that a software for 25€ is expoensive. In my last trip to Australia I saved 2€/minutes for all my call home to Sweden with this software compare with a call over the cellular operators network. The payback time was 13 minutes!

It is possible to download OptiMobile UniPhone in SonyEricssons own application shop:
http://applicationshop.sonyer[....]rod6471362&sf=sonye-sf-html-en

Also in Symbian gears shop in UK, USA and in a lot of other countries. Uniphone has been the most sold software during the last week: http://www.symbiangear.com/pl[....]ase.html?id=29245,29252,267831

Also mobile 2day is offer the uniphone I Germany at: http://www.mobile2day.de/plat[....]dukt.html?id=267821&noreload=1

@Mr VoWLAN

You raise some very valid points but firstly this solution has only recently become available and and i have been using Fring for many months now at no cost. Initially on a N93 and then an E61 and also whilst i had it on a N95. Although i have only used it over WiFi i have never had any problems with sound quality it has always worked as it should.

Also when the P1 was announced this app was meant to be shipped with the P1 so it is a little strange that P1 users are now expected to have to buy it, although nothing SE says and does any longer surprises me.

I have a P1i on O2 and Fring does not work. When making a call, it crashes with a Kernel Exec 3 error. Many others have this problem, and it seems to be related to the custom O2 firmware, as if you debrand your phone to the generic firmware, it works.

Here's a thread about the problem:
(http://www.fring.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2434)

Has anyone here got Fring working on P1i on O2?
