I made multiple international calls using an iMate Jammin over WiFi - I could not even hear the other party. The WiFi was not even being shared with anyone else at the time. I tested it repeatedly, unfortunately I had bought the airtime prior to being able to test! Admittedly that was at least 8 months ago, hopefully they have improved their service.

This is probably one of the best services I have tried ever. Since they have teamed up with an excellent termination carrier their service seems unbeatable. I am particularly impressed with their user friendly interface and the simplistic way of doing Voice, IM, Text all from one single front end. To top it all off they have brilliant support.

Appears to be out of business. You can’t purchase credits from the website anymore (Paypal error message) and the mobile application can’t log in anymore.
