So, There's now a way to use Truphone/ Skype/ or any SIP Provider using your 3G/EDGE Connection on your iPhone...It's forbidden by Apple's SDK Rules, but it saves a lot of money, so WHO CARES?!?!!!
I Disconnected my (minutes plan) from T-mobile, and now I pay $29.95 for unlimited data via 3G/Edge connection, (on my unlocked/jailbroken iPhone 8gb 3g), Skype charges me $2.95 a month for 10,000 minutes, and I use Yahoo Messaging via *Fring* for my SMS carrier!! You can signup with Skype by CLICKING HERE !!!
It's amazing, instead of paying $80+ per month, i'm paying about $36 with taxes!!(assuming you are running a jailbroken iPhone)
1. Go Into Cydia
2. Navigate to Sections-> System
3. Select the VoIPover3G package, or TrickerThreeG ... either will work!!
4. Download one, and YOU'RE DONE!!!
Now, you'll want to search the internet for SIP Providers to use over your 3G/Edge connection, and find the one that suits you best!!.. I personally love Skype because it doesn't lag, and sounds just as good, if not better than my T-mobile Voice did!!
Sign up for an SIP Provider/Skype/Truphone, and then download Fring/Truphone onto your iPhone via App Store. You should be able to link your SIP/Skype to Fring, and Truphone is self-explanatory!!
All you have to do now is open truphone/ fring and you should be able to make VoIP calls over 3g / edge connection!!.
A simple reboot may be needed, didn't for me!!!
Hope this saves everybody else money!!! Have an iPhone-tastic day!!

Awesome, but either T-Mobile caught on or its just the effects of the recession....offered. The data only plan is now $39.95. Still cheaper than running with all the addons, but its pointless when you and your spouse have T-Mobile..in the end you end up paying the same if not more when you drop your family plan and go individual.

After a long time of searching for a recovery expert and platforms to help me recovering my funds, I finally meet a ethical hacker who helped me to recovery all i have lost to this broker site 24options worth $30 Thoushand USD, and I must say that he's a God sent, His help was quite outstanding from the handling of the case by the case manager to completion. I just want to say thank you onlineghosthacker247 for this rare opportunity to get my funds back when all hope seems lost due to the sea of scams out there. I totally recommed him and you can reach him on his email ( onlineghosthacker247 @ gmail . com) and thank me later .
