Skype

I don't think thats quite how it works. if you register your roaming PI phone, then its only 1 peso - they also have computer accounts, which may well be 2.5pesos.

Going a bit off topic, the skype wifi (mobile) phones seem like they can put vodafone out of business.

In the us mobile carriers are ensuring phones don't have wifi if at all possible to stop voip phones taking off. But the newer phones like the nokia e61 have voip capablities.

Vodafone and the others i think from what i read are looking at going down the voip route (they have no other option imo)which might be good news for all of us if it makes calling phill as cheap as calling the uk.

Please excuse me for being a complete technical dunce and technophobe but what equipment and internet connection will they need in the R.P for me to call them for free?

both ends must have skype downloaded in their pc, a dsl connection and a VOIP phone but a mic will do. Those things works for me before.not sure about the extras now...maybe keith can share more info.

I mean from mobiles at the moment the data costs outweigh the savings on the telephone call.
