Updated: AT&T allows VOIP on 3G network, looks who’s trying to improve their image
by Justin Horn on Oct 6th, 2009 @ 5:46 pmAT&T gave us one less reason to hate them today:
AT&T today announced it has taken the steps necessary so that Apple can enable VoIP applications on iPhone to run on AT&T’s wireless network. Previously, VoIP applications on iPhone were enabled for Wi-Fi connectivity.
So we should soon (if Apple plays ball) have VoIP 3G apps on the iPhone, plus we now have working MMS and improving network quality in the 850MHz range. Oh yeah, and hopefully by the end of the year we will 7.2Mbps in select cities!
With this latest news and the fact that I’m in one of those “select cities” I’m starting to think positively of AT&T again. How about you? Do you still have those negative feels towards AT&T?
UPDATE Looks like Apple is already moving to support this. The Loop is reporting:
“We are very happy that AT&T is now supporting VoIP applications,” Apple spokesperson, Natalie Kerris, Told The Loop. “We will be amending our developer agreements to get VoIP apps on the App Store and in customers’ hands as soon as possible.”
