Hey, thanks for these pointers - I'll look into them. > Are you looking to provide voip services to your users or create a niche > business as a provider for VoIP only 3G phones? Actually as previously mentioned there's a small provider over here with a CDMA network (not too big just a couple of base stations) and they would like to find out how to cost-effectively introduce voice. I was just thinking if there was a device which "knew" how to communicate IP over a CDMA layer 1 and had a SIP client, that's what they would have to sell their clients (then spend much less on a softswitch by using Asterisk for example). That's the idea..
