In Germany, the T-Mobile, a big multinational company related to mobile network, seems have some annoyance for the use of VoIP over the iPhone, precisely with the service offered by SipGate, because it encourage operations named "jailbreak" (a description of this procedure it’s available in this page), and then tamper the iPhone via software.
I have the feeling that the cheap VoIP begins to make some trouble to the big multinationals, that certainly will take some measures to protect themselves, even if more than a measure, it seems an egoistic monopoly.

I found them almost perchance, VoipStunt, VoipWise, InternetCalls…
VoipRaider’s features are nearly identical to the ones of VoipWise, different graphical interface as like the different official website but the network and the functionality are equal to the ones of its clone softwares.
Just try to download and install both VoipStunt and VoipRaider, sign-up with both ones, it’s not possible to use the same username for one and the other, I presume that the network and the sign-up servers are the same for all, after that from VoipStunt add a new contact specifying the username you choose for VoipRaider sign-up process, there you are in the list.

Born a "new" software for VoIP calls and free SMS sending very but very similar to the other ones I spoke about in an old little article.
Reading from the official site it seems that there’s the way to make free calls over landline phones in the enabled countries:

Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States (mobile phone included).

The sending of free SMS is limited, as calls over landline phones, it’s not understandable in what manner it is, but… better that nothing.
VoipWise is freely distributed and it is translated in many languages, after the short installation it is necessary to sign up with classic username and password, the registration process is quite immediate and easy to do, after that it will be possible begin to use VoipWise, between the features it’s present the Phone2Phone function, simply inserting your own telephone number and the one you wish to call, it will be estabilished a direct call between the two phones, without computer aid.

This is all a little spy-movie-esk for me.

Have you ever had a fuzzy VoIP call? Well, it might not be just a bad connection. It could be someone intercepting your call and inserting secret messages into the packet. No, not kidding.

According to New Science Tech:

Wojciech Mazurczyk and Krzysztof Szczypiorski, information scientists at the Institute of Telecommunications in Warsaw, Poland, revealed last week that they are developing a “steganographic” system for VoIP networks (www.arxiv.org/abs/0805.2938). Steganography is the art of hiding messages by embedding them in ordinary communications.

A little freaky, no?

Via Slashdot.

When you hear the word MIG and when you are as old as me, the only thing comes to mind is the Cold war era Russian fighter Jets. But Russell Shaw pointed me to a another form of MIG. MIG33 is heading our way to make a jolt in the mobile communication sphere!
After listening to Russell’s advise I also started playing with MIG33 and I think it is a formidable application. According to the website, mig33 is an operator-agnostic global community that makes the most popular Internet applications accessible on any mobile phone. That means consumers can take advantage of low-cost VoIP calls, SMS and IM communications tools, and participate in mobile chat rooms, profiles, and photo sharing, all directly from their mobile phone. I have not tested all the features. The other thing is I use phone for what is originally meant to be, to make calls. (That might change now that Apple has made iPhone affordable and hacks are public!). I have to warn you though, about pricing! MIG33 might still need to polish their pricing. I mostly call Japan and Germany and I already get better rates mobile to mobile. But what matters here is the modus operandi.
But most of the features are available even from a pc. The first thing I tried out was make a call following the instruction on site!;

To make a call back using SMS:

1. Send an SMS to "+447717989963" with **

• Needs to be sent from your mig33 registered mobile number
  

mig33 will connect both numbers together using mig33’s call back technology.MIG33

Really, it is quite disappointing. Since long, the customers were swayed by Nokias advertisement regarding the availability of VoIP services in their N95 devices. Regrettably, Vodafone and Orange have deactivated VoIP calls on the N95 device.

It means that the customers of Vodafone and Orange will not be able to find VoIP option in their N95 device since Nokia has removed it at the behest of these mobile operators.

Perhaps, both the operators have taken this step considering the fact that the ensuring cheap calls via VoIP means loss of revenue for them.

We should not forget that VoIP calls can be charged as data rates when the customers are outside WiFi areas. It will accrue revenue for the operators.
