I'm not sure I understand. This service runs VOIP over a GPRS connection? I've tried that and found it didn't work very well. The latency is too high. Have you tested this?

Yes, they have a VOIP client you download onto your phone. You can trigger a callback (to any number), and it calls back as that number. On my phone, the test calls I've made have been very clear - no difference in the level of call quality. I'm very impressed as the call quality has been better than the Vonage soft phone on my laptop using a cable modem.

Since you're in the states, you can get a $0.50 credit - all you need to do is register and download th Java program. I registered this past August and totally forgot about it until I got a referral e-mail a few weeks ago. When I had the time, I downloaded the program to my BB. I was very skeptical based on previous VOIP experiences, but so far I'm very impressed.

No, these are callback services, well Vyke and Voipbuster certainly are, only using the data to trigger the call. Czar mentioned 1k of data to set up a Mino call, in the second post, and until then I wasn't clear myself

Andy - thanks for pointing that out; I totally misunderstood

So basically it's a just a callback service. Explains why I can't find a VOIP provider who has this service (well, except Vonage who has it for WiFi). Also explains why it used such little data.

OK, that makes more sense. It's a callback service with a Java/GPRS trigger system.
