Who says you can’t route your calls through internet on your mobile phone? Well, you can, but … argh … where are those apps? I heard something about REAL sip client software for Nokia N9o cell phone, or something like that, but I like my BlackBerry more

My problem is, I didn’t find any real sip client software for BlackBerry so far. I only found apps that are tied together with specific proprietary services. For example Voxofon or Vopium – those are the 2 most visible VoIP apps for blackberry these days. However these work only for selected countries and guess what – my beloved Slovakia is not listed . There is only one app I that can do VoIP on BlackBerry in Slovakia – EQO. It’s not SIP client, its proprietary EQO service, but the prices are fairly good. Better than nothing at least.

Take a look at this graph. I use O2 as my cellular network provider. Justvoip is another great app, which runs on PC and its prices are unbeatable, as far as my research goes. I’m interested only in Slovakia as my home country and also in Czech and UAE, as I have friends there.

comparison of different voip and cell phone charges per minute (in EUR /w taxes)

You see, justvoip comes out as a clear winner, however due to a fact, that I can run it only on my PC, I have to combine this three services in awkward way to get cheapest price per minute/sms. If only BlackBerry had a standard SIP client application, so I can connect to my justvoip account from my cell phone…

Conclusion: Anyway, it’s still pretty clumsy to use… so I have justvoip on desktop and cell phone with EQO. How I use them?

1. I’m on PC
   1. sending sms through justvoip,
   2. calling internationaly and slovak landlines with EQO,
   3. calling localy with cellular network
2. I’m on the road – drunk in the some dirty pit, heavy dungeon or dark cave
   1. everything international or slovak landline goes through EQO
   2. slovak cell phones and sms’s (try to pronounce it!) go through cellular network

What do you think about that? Throw some rocks on me in comments please.

6. Apríla sa mi prvý krát v živote podarilo doplniť toner do tlačiarne refillkit-om. Väčšinou som kupoval buď originálne alebo alternatívne lacnejšie tonery. Doteraz som sa ale neodvážil použiť refillkit. Keďže už s alternatívnymi tonermi sú isté problémy, myslel som že s refillkitom budú ešte väčšie, ale opak je pravdou. Zatiaľ mi takto doplnený cartidge funguje nad očakávania. Okrem toho sa nestalo v tomto mesiaci nič hodné pozornosti. 25. sa vo Vozokanoch organizoval hromadný výstup na Ďurka. Riadne sme sa nachodili a keď sme dorazili na Marhát, každému sa ušlo aspoň po 2 kg nezdravej stravy za odmenu.

O pár dní na to, koncom mesiaca bola v Mlynskej Doline akcia zvaná Trafo, kde sme sa s Maťou a Ester zastavili tesne pred tým ako sme išli na vlak Bratislava – Humenné. Ale to už je zase iný príbeh…
