VOIP, WiFi and Cell phones VOIP over an internet connection has become commonplace. About eighteen months ago I heard that Motorola and another company were developing a cell phone to run VOIP over WiFi. Such a contraption would make sense in a large company campus setting like Intel, Cisco, HP,IBM. The company campuses have WiFi everywhere, so a cell phone based upon WiFi becomes practical and cheaper, when used on the company campus. However since the WiFi range is only a hundred yards, the gadget would have to revert to the conventional cell phone service provider when out of range. However I have not heard anything further about the above contraption and I have not seen anyone with such a gadget. Maybe the project has been scrubbed because of insufficient volumes and technical challenges. I wonder if the VOIP telephone number and the cell phone number would be the same on such a gadget. I am not aware of a WiMax provider in the Bay Area. The Bay area does not even have 3G cell phone service. I am curious to try out 3G phones, but no luck so far.
