So, Mr Vodafone, when can we expect to be able to do the same in New Zealand???? I feel a beer coming on, a brand that starts with T.

MartyMan: I presume not using Skype.... care to elaborate for us mere mortals?
PaulBrislen:
having said that - mobile does pose some challenges for real-time services, eg VOIP. Latency is an issue.
But hey, if you want to use your KB doing it, knock yourself out. It's all good.
sbiddle: I've probably used upwards of 200 minutes over the past couple of months testing VoIP over 3G on Vodafone, both mobile and stationary.
Has it's pros and cons but certainly works..

simon14: I teethered my Motorola K3 with my laptop and while we drove into Tauranga, i made a Skype call for a few mintues and it worked perfectly, much clearer than any cell phone call could have been. Of course the latency would have been a tiny bit higher than a cellphone call, but i didn't notice the difference....

International or local?

It was a call to another Skype user in NZ.... not that it would make any difference! Any major latency would be as a result of the mobile network, not due to the receiver of the call being overseas.

Have ya had the chance to do more testing of VoIP on XT yet? Be interesting to see how it compares.
I find VoIP on Vodafone is probably about 90% there, and overall is a worthwhile complement.
