VoIP on iPhone

Last week AT&T announced they will be allowing VoIP calls on iPhones. This was a welcome change for the mobile broadband users, giving them opportunity to be in touch with their contacts on networks like Skype etc. This would also open up the chances of using Google Voice on our iPhones someday soon.

Over the weekend, I tried making calls using Skype on my iPhone. I could hardly connect when I was on the AT&T 3G network. When I switched to WiFi at my home, I could place calls but could hardly hear the other person on the line. Looks like the network still needs some QoS tweaking to allow users to make VoIP calls.
