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.
