NY Times: iPhone App to Sidestep AT&T
26 March 2010, 12:58am
NY Times writer David Pogue analyzes a new iPhone app that claims to merge WiFi, 3g, and voice connections on your iPhone to avoid high charges from your cell carrier. Sounds like a good idea, but 3g connections in the states still aren't really good enough to carry VoIP, in my opinion. The nice thing about this over, say, Skype, is that it can use your real phone line, so you don't need to have the Skype app running to receive a call.
This app, called line2, costs $1 from the app store, plus $15 per month for the service.

The company's website, toktumi.com (get it?), is "experiencing a denial of service attack". I'm not sure if that's a company I'd entrust my phone service (and credit info) with.
