Do you think Google would implement it if carriers wouldn't agree? Maybe. But I think the carriers will support that feature. Why? It's simple.
Verizon, for example, could say "Yes, we sell this Android 3.0 phone and you can make VOIP calls on it - you only have to buy this expensive LTE data plan from us".
Carriers can easily embrace this and make even more money from it than from minutes.
- wmf 16y agoPeople aren't that dumb; they're only interested in VoIP to save money. As soon as it costs more, people will be back to circuit-switched voice calls (which are higher quality anyway).
- onewland 16y agoPardon? Most of my experience is with Skype/iChat, but I find sound quality to be far better than POTS.
- zacharycohn 16y agoThere are other advantages to VoIP. Namely, portability. If your office has a VoIP phone system, you could take calls at your desk or on the go without a person trying to track you down, forward the call, etc.
