mrbarlow · **Calling China/Asia via VOIP - a bit ropey? -** 12-11-2007, 12:26

A friend of mine is currently in Beijing, China. He's got a pre-paid SIM (not sure which operator) but I rang him the other day via VOIP. The quality was so-so but there was a shocking delay which made the conversation a little difficult. A colleague said she experienced the same thing calling India recently.

I'm wondering whether this is due to VOIP, Asian telephones or a combination of the two. Anyone else know?
