I had given up on my o2 carrier in the UK long ago..I use SIAX app on cydia store which allows calls via any sip provider… My favourite sip provider is intervoip…The call rates are unbelievably low!!!

Thanks to SIAX I no longer use the rip off o2 in UK! (o2 is the AT&T equivalent)

Now to make things better I use skype on the go on my jailbroken iphone and talk for hours with my frienz based abroad.

For all those who wanna know how to run skype on 3g, run the app in the background and other tweaks.

@frog.. Well, the telcos were built with government subsidies. so technically, it’s our network.

@Blake:

Except everything I plug into my socket, the power campany supplies the power, and in turn, I pay for whatever is plugged in. Not the case with Skype over 3g.

I beg your pardon?!!

I'm paying ATT 30 bucks per month PER LINE OF SERVICE for that bandwidth. That's more than I pay my ISP for something like ten times the speed.

Where did you get the Idea that the 3G network was a GIFT from ATT to you?

You pay for every byte of it, and because the speed is so slow you pay thru the nose.

T-mobile in the netherlands has just publicly stated that they dont have any issue with skype running on their 3g network, but it’s up to apple to let skype do that, not them.

Regarding the Skype app… Telcos do not want Skype running over 3G since users skyping with each other generate no income at all for the Telco. A telco want users to talk over the phone or send SMSs, instead of sending instant chat messages or talking directly with each other using Skype. The crashes was caused by a bug in an early version of MobileSubstrate (a library used in jailbroken iPhones). This bug has been fixed. So ensure you are up2date. Skype running on a jailbroken device with VoipOver3G and Backgrounder is a fantastic app!

Apparently if you are jailbroken you need to update MobileSubstrate, and that fixes the crashes.

Skype crashed like crazy for me too, double check that everything is up to date in cydia and make sure you are getting skype v. 1.0.1 because it works great for me. I just got off of a voice call on EDGE!
