I'm planning on getting a curve 8900 or bold 9000 with Rogers in Canada, and will be doing quite a bit of calling to the US. I want to skip the home phone, but will be working from home, so I'll have pretty consistent access to wi-fi, and also a good data plan from Rogers.
So here's what's confusing me: I want to use my blackberry for VoIP calling. Seems like it should be simple, but every service that I see described as a VoIP solution for blackberries is just a callback service, and not VoIP at all... I still need to call out to them for the number (using my voice plan), and get a call in return (using my voice plan). I don't want to do that.
Is it possible to make calls on a blackberry using only data (and not GSM voice) access?
Rats. I guess the best bet for frequent long-distance, then, will be something like this bfree callback, and just make sure I have unlimited incoming on my plan.
