Maybe you should experience what is available in the states. I don't see enough bandwidth nor a reasonable cost just yet in gprs service to justify it over plain old celular time. For instance, my GPRS is billed at 1 cent per K or $10.24 per meg. Can you see how quickly a VoIP call would rack up the price of the call? Most cell plans offer free nights and weekends for limited to no extra cost. Data keeps costing no matter the time. Also most cell plans are under 10 cents per minute without needing anything other than a standard phone on the other side. As for the few plans I have seen around for $80 a month to get unlimited network on the phones, I haven't seen that they are capable of the speed needed to get the calls through it. And again, at 10 cents a minute, thats a lot of time calling on the phone. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
