Yes, you tether tmob's data to your sellphone and talk on Skype for
either free or damned near free across the planet. Works great! The
only time it dumps me is if I cross over into another Alltel district,
which makes it switch my IP. Wimax won't have this problem....
Once the WiMax network is installed, Skype will be completely mobile and
teh Sellphone companies can kiss their asses bye bye for me.
ONE phone on ONE system....Whether it's Skype or some other big VoIP-
for-pennies, I don't care which. May the BEST DEAL WIN....
Skype in N America is $36/YEAR for outgoing 5000 mins a month and
$24/line/YEAR for an incoming from phones/sellphones. NOTHING matches
that. You can have TEN Skypes running, simultaneously, and they all
ring together....something we've been wishing SELLphones did for decades
and were told it wasn't possible. Whatever Skype answers the call,
takes the call. If noone takes the call, Skype forwards to any number
you choose. You can also have up to 10 incoming lines to your Skype
cluster of systems from many countries for $24/each line. I have
numbers in Charleston, SC and London, UK.
No "band" will be necessary except the WiMax band after the buildout.
You'll have internet service. Your phone will be on the roaming WiMax
internet service.....as just another app running on your tablet.
It already is, here. I just got off Skype with a friend in Japan. We
talk for hours. Wimax will simply replace the sellphone EVDO data I'm
roaming with Skype on, now, very successfully. Wimax won't have EVDO's
sellphone latency, which is about 500ms on Alltel right on the sellphone
end of the tracert.

Help yourself.....it's FREE.
.....and no Sellphone funny business to spoil your fun!
Skype even works on EDGE. It will tolerate down to about 80Kbps and
900ms latency before it gets bad. On broadband, it's like talking to
the phone in the next room....even on the tablets.
