combined with a Skype account, would pretty much obviate the need for a home phone line once and for all.
as the iPhone OS still does not support background applications, this is barely true - unless you want to keep skype running all the time which would render you unable to do unimportant stuff as, say, change the track you are listening on.
- aditya 17y agoCouldn't the Skype app send you a background notification that the phone was ringing?
- demallien 17y agoPush notifications aren't perfectly real-time, you can often have a delay of up to a few minutes, which is too long for a connect signal. However, as it's pretty much free to call on Skype, a notification that someone has tried to call you, and do you want to call them back, would be completely feasible with the current technology. I can only imagine that Skype are gearing up to do exactly this in their iPhone app...
