It has pretty much always been against the terms of service to use VoIP on your mobile data plan. At least for the vast majority of service providers in Sweden, just that it hasn't been enforced (my understanding of it at least). The only thing that changes now is that it is allowed (but with a fee attached to it).
I guess the problem stems from that competition has made mobile data plans too cheap and thus have been subsidized by regular calls. If the customers take advantage of this and use VoIP instead the service providers are in trouble.
Which kind of makes sense. The only reason you'd ever want VoIP on your phone is so that you can skip the middleman (who is the one that pays for the network your call goes through, VoIP or not).
- msh 15y agoNo, i use skype on my mobile because Telia (and all other carriers) have bad reception at my apartment.
- mseebach 15y agoThen presumably you use Skype over your WiFi-connection, not Telias cellular network? That's skipping the middleman, although not the in the sense of the GP.
- msh 15y agoWhen at Home, yes, but since i am allready running skype at Home it is easier just continuing to use it when I am out and about. So I am also using it on their cell network.
