Skype Works well on EvDO too!
While waiting at the gate for a delayed flight to Chicago, the moment my PC started up and launched my Verizon EvDo service, I was greeted by an incoming Skype call from VON Magazine News editor Doug Mohney. To both his amazement and my own, without using a headset on my PC, we had a pretty high quality conversation with very little drop-off.
Of course, this conversation got noticed by some of the people sitting next to me at the gate...
Considering this was running over EvDO, I was pretty impressed with the quality of the call. As was he.

The problem is that Verizon does not let one use EVDO with VoIP. If you look at the 'terms' on the page to sign up... I dont know if the terms have always been there, and I dont know if they intend to keep them there... But right now they seem to not want such usage.
If Mr. Pulver has some info which would allow one to use it for VoIP, please enlighten- because that might be very good for many people.

So you are using Skype?? I thought you 'd use FWD.
Why this?
