These kind of connections must be worrying the Cell phone companies. Mobile phones get voice-over-Internet capability By Mark Frauenfelder I wrote a piece for TheFeature.com about i2 Internet's new device , the InternetTalker MG-3, which allows mobile phones to make VoIP calls. Here’s how the MG-3 works: first, you have to sign up for VoIP service with a company that resells i2 Telecom’s hardware and network access. You’ll get the MG-3, a little plastic box stuffed with microchips, which you plug into your broadband connection and existing phone line. Then, when you want to make a long distance call with your mobile, you just call your home number. The MG-3 will recognize the mobile’s number using Caller ID, and connect you to i2 Telecom’s VoIP network. You get a second dial tone, and you can make your overseas call. Want to talk to somebody in China? You’ll get charged 5 cents a minute. Cingular has been having a great time charging you $3.49 a minute for making the same call. boingboing.net
