Unlimited Calling on TP2 via VOIP?

[zillanilla]

Magic Jack is going to offer a device similar to Sprint's Airave that will allow unlimited calling on phones using GSM networks (source: http://tech.yahoo.com/news/ap/us_tec...show_magicjack). My questions are: 1) Would this be possible on a Sprint TP2? 2) If so, would the unlock be required? 3) Is anyone aware of a current solution for unlimited voip calls on the TP2?

The game is about to get interesting. I wish MagicJack had a stock symbol, I'd throw a couple chips their way.

You should be able to unlock the Sprint TP2 with the htc-unlocks sim unlocker and the patched radio.

I already have unlimited calling with the Windows Mobile Skype app and the $3/month unlimited US and Canada plan. This assumes that you have an unlimited data plan. And this is unlimited calling to the US from anywhere in the world. For example, I'm in italy, have a prepaid data plan and call about 2 hrs a day to the states for the $3/month.

Hey Matt, that's good info! How's the call quality? What client do you use? This is something for me to look into since I would come out cheaper than MagicJack($40) and I do have unlimited data. Also, I'm guessing international roaming on data is free with your VZW plan, or that you're using WiFi.

I think it really has to do with your carrier. T-Mobile required me to get a phone plan with mine. Plus, I also trust the phone tech a little better than VOIP currently. I made a few calls today to some companies in NYC for digital camera equipment and you could just tell they used VOIP. It's still terrible quality. I'll go that route when Europe's HD Phone makes its way to the States.
