The Future of Telephony - Mobile SIP Telephony

With the advent of highly feature rich Cell phones, I feel normal Cell Phone calls using GSM, CDMA or 3G Networks would soon become a thing of the past.

To be more technical, most of todays high-end Cell phones support SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), a protocol widely used in Internet Telephony or to say VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol). There are numerous sites floating on the net today, eg. www.brujula.net, which allow you to have your own FREE SIP account. There are also free sites like www.ipkall.com & www.orbtalk.co.uk which provide a FREE direct US / UK number forwarded to your SIP number. So I guess you got the clue. You can activate your advanced GPRS connection with your Cell Phone Service provider, or if you have a 3G Network... it would be an icing on the cake, & recieve calls from countries like US / UK (& others too) on your Cell, sitting in India (for eg.), not as a POCS (Plain Old Cellular Service) call, for as low as 30 paisa INR to 60 paisa INR per minute. Isn't that amazing. Google around & find out how you can fully utilize the power of Internet through your cell phones by making FREE VOIP calls using SIP Service Providers mentioned above or using a lovely VOIP supported FREE INSTANT MESSENGER like Fring www.fring.com on your cell.

Just waiting for 3G services to be launched in India.
