more iPhone 3g find use VoIP that more info here
Now, at least in the United Kingdom, there’s an application from VoIP provider TruPhone that allows iPhone users to make VoIP calls over WiFi, without soldering and coding.
It is still in beta, but the TruPhone has so far been successful. The TruPhone software for iPhone is a native application, according to Tim Donnelly Smith of TruPhone. Third-party application installers are required.
“Just to be totally clear: the demonstration of TruPhone on the iPhone doesn’t mean that it’s available to use yet,” said Smith. “It’s still early days. Some people have reported that ‘TruPhone has launched …’ but, as the news release (I hope) makes clear, this isn’t the case yet.”
TruPhone expects to release a simpler version in the near future. The new application won’t require breaking the SIM lock, and will switch from WiFi to SIM depending on availability of service.
The question remains: Will AT&T, and Apple, respond to freeing the iPhone from AT&T’s network?
Apple might not mind as much as service provider AT&T will. Smith doesn’t expect trouble from Steve Jobs and Co.
“This program doesn’t do anything that Steve Jobs says not to do,” said Smith. “Apple is fairly neutral on third-party applications and they won’t deliberately try to break them.”
Fring, an Israeli startup that has a great VOIP/Chat service for mobile phones (see our February coverage), is launching an iPhone version of the service sometime in the next 24 hours, we’ve heard.
This is not a browser-based chat app like FlickIM or Mundu. It should be a fully functional downloadable version of the application that allows users to access the fring, Skype, MSN Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ, SIP, Twitter, Yahoo and AIM services.
That means they’ll be using the Jailbreak installer, which severely limits the number of iPhone users who will download and use it.
But Fring may also be the first really killer application that can get non-early adopter users to consider using Jailbreak. The ability to make VOIP calls over the data plan in itself is probably worth it (although it may only work over Wifi, not the Edge network).
This is most likely a test run in preparation for the official iPhone app store that will launch this summer. It’s also a risky strategy - some developers I’ve spoken with are avoiding Jailbreak because they don’t want to anger Apple and have their official applications banned down the road.
Fring is doing very well even without the iPhone. The service, which is about a year old, gets 100,000 new active users per month. We’ll update when Fring actually launches the application.
Enjoy VoIP with iPhone 3G,look for more app store

iCall VOIP for the iPhone
iCall VOIP for the iPhone
Now iCall covered a number of iPhone VOIP applications, but iCall looks particularly impressive. As you can see in the above video, it allows you to seamlessly transfer a regular inbound cell phone calls to VOIP. This means you can save your minutes any time your iPhone is connected via wifi. As of right now calls are free in the US and Canada, and there is an iCall Pro account that lets you make international calls for a fee. Unfortunately, the iCall application is only available for Windows at the moment but they're promising a Mac version soon. Nonetheless, it's clearly the iPhone application that's most exciting and the company is apparently part of the iPhone Developer Program.
iCall for the iPhone? It's already working and is coming soon to your iPhone. iCall think you'll find it as revolutionary as iCall do.
Make and receive calls over WiFi
Transfer inbound calls from a regular cell call to WiFi instantly and seamlessly - save your expensive minutes
Access your same address book
Customize your voicemail options
iCall are being absolutely inundated and overwhelmed with e-mails, so here are the ansiCallrs to the most common questions iCall've received:
iCall are part of the Apple iPhone developer program. This is not an application for you naughty jail breakers ;-)
iCall are not using any undocumented API calls. iCall are following every rule that developers must follow.
No, you can not have a copy. iCall are not physically capable of distributing the application to any phones except our development phones. If Steve-ness himself wanted a copy iCall could not provide it to him. Sorry.
Apple has explicitly stated that VoIP is alloiCalld, just not over Edge networks. Steve himself ansiCallred this question in the Q&A session after the last keynote speech.
iCall are huge Apple fans and plan to release a version of iCall for OS X, but iCall don't have enough developers..
Yes iCall are hiring. Please visit our jobs page. iCall'll even pay for you to move to Greenwich, CT.

AT&T should embrace iPhone VoIP over 3G
When the App Store was announced and Steve Jobs was discussing the possibility of iPhone applications totally transforming the way we use Apple's devices, he was asked if it would support VoIP on the iPhone. In response, Apple confirmed that VoIP would be available in the App Store as long as it was running on Wi-Fi, but not AT&T's 3G network. The company claimed that any VoIP solution running on 3G would be in violation of its exclusivity deal with AT&T.
But now that Global IP Solutions has released VoIP software for the developer community, I think it's time we explore why AT&T doesn't want iPhone VoIP running on its network.
Now I know that the first response will be because the company will lose substantial revenue as people use VoIP instead of its own network, resulting in less usage and fewer overage charges, but I think that's a bit short-sighted.
First off, no one is telling AT&T to allow VoIP on all its devices, just the iPhone. Secondly, why can't AT&T get in on the sale of VoIP solutions and encourage people to buy them from the App Store as way to reduce overages?
It may sound radical, but it just might work.
One of the main concerns every cell phone owner has is whether or not they will be charged additional fees for spending too much time on the phone. But with the help of VoIP, they'll be able to reduce the number of minutes they use and in turn, save some cash each month. In the process, AT&T will lose revenue and probably feel the effect of VoIP in no time.
And while the initial shock of lost revenue could be jarring, we can't forget that the iPhone customers are just one segment of AT&T's revenue source and they certainly don't account for the majority of users. That said, iPhone users are most likely to add apps to their devices and are more likely to use a VoIP app than someone using a BlackBerry or Treo.
But who cares? AT&T will lose some revenue in the short-term, sure, but why wouldn't it create a VoIP application of its own and sell it on the App Store, dubbing it the "official VoIP application for the iPhone 3G?" That app may not make up for the lost revenue in overage charges, but it will effectively create a PR campaign that the company can exploit for months: AT&T is the only cell phone carrier that's willing to let you use a different voice communication solution on its own platform, and thus, save you money.
The long-term effect of allowing iPhone 3G users to use VoIP over 3G could have a major impact on AT&T's bottom line. Current users would tell others that after buying an iPhone, they too will be able to reduce their monthly payment to one offering less minutes and use VoIP instead. In the process, AT&T could advertise that simple fact and probably see an influx of customers that are looking to save some cash on cell plans and own an iPhone at the same time.
It may be a risky move, especially considering AT&T may not be the desired carrier for some people, but I think it's a risk worth taking. Let's face it -- not all iPhone users will use VoIP anyway and more often than not, it'll be easier for them to make calls with their phone than to use VoIP on the device, since 3G is hardly ubiquitous.
But for every risk, there's the possibility of enjoying a huge reward. AT&T could lead the pack in VoIP communications over a cell network and exploit its "desire to make customers happy" to steal more customers from competing carriers.
Cell phones are quickly reaching saturation and cell carriers will be forced to steal customers from now on instead of gaining those without plans. And as that happens, they will need to differentiate themselves and try to entice more people to their side. And what better way to do that than to use the iPhone 3G as a test market and offer customers the opportunity to come to AT&T and enjoy all the benefits of VoIP?
Sure, it's radical. But at this point, throwing some caution to the wind wouldn't be such a bad idea for AT&T. And let's not forget that no one has a gun to the executives' heads: they can always stop supporting VoIP whenever they feel like it if it puts too much of a strain on the company's bottom line.

iPhone 3G Review Tecnology
I just now to iPhone 3G Review Tecnology:Iphone 3G design to more tecnology,Multimedia,Flickr and Geotagging,YouTube via.Comfirm form Apple mean iPhone 3G uses a technology protocol called HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) to download data fast over UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) networks. Email attachments and web pages load twice as fast on 3G networks as on 2G EDGE networks.1 And since iPhone 3G seamlessly switches between EDGE, faster 3G, and even faster Wi-Fi, you always get the best speeds possible.
iPhone 3G Multimedia
When you talk about Apple, First think is a audio.Apple had built the earphone jack on the left top of iPhone. Everybody could easy enjoy music comfortable as possible. People gave Steve Jobs a pretty crowd applause when he shoyoud this. Me too!( What you thinking about Apple iphone 3G Multimedia) Besides its popular earphones, iPhone 3G will let their users to record something with its microphone too. This gadget support various audio formats such as AAC, Protected AAC, MP3, MP3 VBR, Audible, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV. A pretty complete line up.Oh I love that,Thank Apple.
Flickr and Geotagging on iPhone 3G
For who love Flickr , iPhone 3G provides you with 2 MP camera.Steve Jobs and Co’s didn’t get interested yet on “megapixels war” among other vendors. Yeah, never mind. To cover up this tiny 2 MP, Apple has built a geotagging features that let users give their photos with geographical data (including but not limited to latitude, longitude coordinate, altitude, bearing, and place names) before they publish it to youbsites or RSS feeds.It like so funny.
:-)
YouTube via iPhone 3G
If you fan of YouTube. This iPhone 3G gives you a compatibility for various video formats such as .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file. Just like the previous iPhone version, this 3G one also support special viewing of YouTube.com. No wonder if this is a better experience if only you compare it to other mobile browser in other mobile phone. With HSDPA, streaming all videos in YouTube will be seamless enough. Hoyouver, just remember that you will also pay the bill for all of the data you had downloaded to your wireless carrier.Just do it.:-)
iPhone 3G Network and Hardware Technology
This year most-anticipated gizmo is ready to take any action on such network like these one; UMTS/HSDPA (850, 1900, 2100 MHz) and GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz). For wireless connectivity, Apple has bundled its baby queen with Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) and Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR.
Apple iphone 3G will coming in july,just fun.
Apple iPhone 3G Review (8GB,16GB)
the Apple iPhone 3G is thinner at the edges than its predecessor, the phone measures a hair thicker (0.48 inches versus 0.46 inches) in the gut. The other measurements are the same except that it weighs just the slightest bit less (4.7 ounces versus 4.8 ounces). Otherwise, the iPhone 3G shows few cosmetic changes from the front--same display size and resolution, and the single Home button sits just below the screen. We're very pleased to see that Apple has done away with the irritating recessed headphone jack, which now is flush so that you'll be able to use any 3.5mm headphones you like.
But turn over the iPhone 3G, and you'll see more significant changes. A black, plastic skin replaces the current silver-aluminum back. The swap may cut the cost, but we worry about its long-term durability. The 8GB model will come in black only, while Apple promises the 16GB version in black and white. The white model is a bit random--we were expecting something in red--but color is a personal choice. The camera lens, volume rocker, charger port, speaker, microphone, power button, and display locking switch show no changes. Our News.com colleague got a hands-on with the new device and reports that it feels similar in the hand to the current model, with the exception of the tapered edges.
Multimedia, Web, and other good stuff
You still with me? I know this post is getting a bit lengthy, but there are just a few more highlights to note. First, the Bold includes an improved Web browser (thank goodness), with the option to view pages in a full desktop HTML style or a mobile version, and you can now more easily navigate pages with the trackball, which acts like a mouse cursor, and zoom in and out.
As for multimedia, the smartphone is equipped with a 2-megapixel camera with video-recording capabilities and up to 5x zoom. The media player also continues to support numerous audio and video formats, including MP3, WMA, AAC, DivX4, and WMV3 files, and the phone is equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack. By the way, the Bold has some pretty powerful speakers--none of that weak, tinny junk.
Oh, and hey, what's this? It's makes calls, and sends and receives e-mails, you say? Yes, you'll still get all of the voice and messaging features of previous BlackBerrys, and the handset will also come preloaded with Dataviz's Documents to Go suite, for document viewing and editing.
just fun to use iphone 3G phones apple plan iphone 3g on July 11.
