AT&T blocking VOIP ports?
 
I guess AT&T is blocking the ports needed to use VOIP - does anyone know of a work-around?

Thanks!

I have never had a problem using Skype on my Fuze. I have used it with 3G and HSDPA. Both networks seemed to work fine. The Fuze has the ability to video share, so I dont think it is even possible for AT&T to block any type of ports.

I dont think they are, try a soft reset on your phone?

ook - First - skype is not true VOIP and doesn't use the same ports and standard VOIP - skype works just fine for me. I'm 100% sure that AT&T is blocking the ports over their HSDPA and 3G network - I've expolored it very carefully and there is no doubt AT&T is screwing us and blocking the ports. I assume its a $ thing - don't want us to use their bandwidth to get nice cheap VOIP calls when they can screw us and make us use their network for phone calls and use our minutes.

"..... It is strictly against the terms of service "TOS" to conduct VOIP telephony over the AT&T mobile phone data networks. ....."

Well - so much for that. I think I'm going to return my phone and demand my money back - what a bunch of *******s! They ever here of NET NEUTRAILTY ??!!!!!

well, you asked, and thats what i gave you. i dont really call overseas, and when i do, my friend has a magic jack and a local number. i use skype to play around and have found it works fine. which VoiP app are you using? i know at&t is very greedy with their data unlike sprint.

Screw the TOS, just do what you have too...:twisted: I'm unaware of a carrier that likes Skype to begin with, to hell with all'ov them. Your phone, your way, Skype today.

sorry bout your luck guys.. i have sprint and skype works flawlessly on 3g and wifi, and through speaker(sound is still kinda junky) and headset... here which one i use if u wanna try.. it was labeled as skype v2.5gold(its def a newer version) when i found it..

and TOS, yeah yeah yeah, any 3rd party DL is a violation, flashing ur phone is a violation.. who cares... your not stealing anything..
