If only Vodafone/Mobile phone companies would provide SIP support so I can use my credit and number.

  They offer this sort of support, it's just expensive. There's only one carrier that's remotely wholesale friendly in the US and that's sprint, but they'll give you full SIP interop. As far as using your credit or your phone number, I can't see the carrier relinquishing that stranglehold. Your credit is your money and your number is your identity. Those are the two most valuable bargaining chips in the mobile carriers arsenal. The real disruption would be in federating identity and finance on a mobile platform, but I'm not holding my breath. While there are projects like this today, it's unlikely that any of them will reach the scale where significant network effects can take place.
