Hey wiec

Good work on determining the data cost... for your usage on your network.

I believe it differs quite a bit between cellphone networks in SA.

I would love to be able to provide my data cost, but in reality it is nothing at all when calling a iCTel number.
The quality of the call was brilliant on my side (both from my computers at home and from my mobile/cellphone, maybe reception plays a role (or heaven forbid, the cellphone network shape the data...)

This is because I am on a £7.50 add-on on my mobile phone contract (I'm in London for the next year or so...) which gives me unlimited data usage from my mobile phone (fair usage applies) when out and about.

At Home I either use the X-Lite software (configured with icTel service) on my iMac or the X-Lite or iCTel softphone on my Dell laptops.

If you have a wifi enabled cellphone
you could connect through your work wireless internet and basically only pay for the ictel-to-landline/cellphone minutes. (I should just go out and get one really..)

Seems iCTel with the iCSpots would like to setup something similar to the BT Openzone Cloud here in London

If iCTel succeeds in this then a proposed R79 isn't too bad at all if you can find and use these spots to call from when in need. (possibly only VOIP data traffic will be allowed through these iCspots or maybe not...)

R5 for the SMS (that is a bit high isn't it), I still have my Fring, configured with iCTel service settings as you can't SMS to these 5 digit numbers between countries...


Thanks for the info Wiec!
