I want to be able to make and receive VOIP calls over my Blackberry. I also want a VOIP phone number. Is there a service out there that can do this?
Answer by grayhare
No.
Does anyone know about a VOIP application which could be installed on a Blackberry pearl 8120 for making cheaper international calls from middle east?
Answer by Arik
Try Fring! It offers domestic and international calls using VOIP. Friend of mine uses it and loves it. Saves a lot of money.
Can I download JustVoip or any other Voip software to my Blackberry 8800 and make international call through Voip?
Answer by Adam T
I don’t think that JustVoip makes a program that compatible with the BB operating system.
However, there are some voip programs for BB. Try going to Handango and find one the model BB you have.
I have always been able to forward my office phone calls to my Blackberry or iPhone because the phone company has call forwarding. But a business land line is different from VOIP. If I were to get VOIP phone service, which is through the internet, can those calls be forwarded to my Blackberry or iPhone?
There is no skype for the BB 9500, I’ve tried nimbuzz, it doesn’t support calling on the bb… There’s got to be SOME app that will allow me to make wifi/voip calls!!!

Need VoIP, great battery life, and international service (my belief is that no matter WHERE you go, you’ll always find Nokia shops, but sometimes you’ll find other stuff in capitals, but not always.)
Also, what are some shortcomings of these phones? I hear the E71 is great overall, but has a terrible camera at night. Balance with price / cost.
What are the OUTSTANDING features of these phones that make them better than the rest in your opinion?
As far as Carriers and Coverage goes: which has the best plans balanced vs. cost, best coverage, least dropped calls, best audio clarity, etc.
Back to PHONES:
Need good audio clarity, a LOUD speakerphone, and a LOUD alarm, as well.
GOOD MUSIC OUTPUT A MUST! I was thinking of getting an iPhone, but I hear the HTC Fuze is even better! Is the sound great too?
Great OS with good apps and games a big plus. Will be traveling like mad and using VoIP internationally. (Personally, I think Windows Mobile works easiest with work apps, etc., but I haven’t used the others.)
OS MUST be stable.
The OS MUST support Skype or VoIP and Instant Messaging with Yahoo and others.
Full GPS Functionality and ease of use. GOOD INTERNATIONAL maps and local businesses too.
International Tech Support? Nokia wins hands down, unless others are good. HTC is from Taiwan, and Blackberry is from the USA. Samsung is from Korea.
A bit of ruggedness is a good thing when it’s a laptop-replacement used overseas while traveling.
3G optional, but must have HSDPA or EDGE.
Also, some phones (like the Nokia E71) is not available in the US with a data plan with a carrier like T-mobile or AT&T, but must be bought separately in its entirety! That’s an extra outlay of cash, though not a big problem, *IS* a consideration!
Why not get a $200 discount with a 2-year contract?
Please let me know who the carriers are with which phones too, that’s important!
Thanjks!
