I am looking to upgrade my BB and am thinking of the 8120 for use on AT&T's network. I don't travel internationally all that often, but when I do would like to be able to use one phone if possible and avoid hotel connection charges to use a calling card. Due to security restrictions, my work-issued laptop isn't able to run Skype or any other VOIP software.
If I have Skype loaded on my BB, and that BB is connected to the internet via a WiFi connection, is it possible to make SkypeOut calls without incurring mobile phone minutes at int'l roaming rates or even int'l roaming data rates?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide!
There is no Skype client for the Blackberry. And iskoot is not skype. It just lets you place calls via a landline gateway. Which maybe useful from your home calling area but useless when roaming.
Skype will run on some nokia wifi phones as will truphone voip. I'd look into that for free calling while abroad.
