I am my own special creation… Well in this case I am my own VoIP provider. To be more honest my friend and I set up a Voice over IP (VoIP) server in my office running on T1 line. I am enjoying a free ride on TruPhone while it’s still free. If the rates will be good after TRU turns into paid service then I’ll definitely stick with them. If not then I’ll run my voip minutes via our server. One negative thing I found in N95 is the process of setting up voip service. It’s not for Mr. John Doe on the street to figure out. Of course if you run your server, there are ways to creating profiles which can be installed on the phone but otherwise it’s not the easiest thing to do. On top of that I tried copying settings from TruPhone and Gizmo project and substitute them with my own ip’s for our asterisk server but that required a different setup but now it all works like a charm. Next thing that I would LOVE to see from Asterisk OR Nokia would be video calling. I have no clue how video calling is handled on Symbian phones but if it could be somehow bypassed and such functionality could be implemented in Asterisk then mobile providers would get their act together and speed up the roll out of advanced services. What i love about Nokia that in addition to a basic phone functions it is also a “dummy” terminal that can handle very complicated tasks. If anyone would be interested in signing up for our VoIP service, please contact me. My friend Jeff, who runs the service constantly is researching the market for the best rates for VoIP minutes so if for example you would want to get minutes for Russia, Poland or whatever other country - let us know.
