Germans Doesn't Like iPhone VoIP

In Germany, the T-Mobile, a big multinational company related to mobile network, seems have some annoyance for the use of VoIP over the iPhone, precisely with the service offered by SipGate, because it encourage operations named "jailbreak" (a description of this procedure it's available in this page), and then tamper the iPhone via software.
I have the feeling that the cheap VoIP begins to make some trouble to the big multinationals, that certainly will take some measures to protect themselves, even if more than a measure, it seems an egoistic monopoly.

VoipRaider - The Family Enlarge Itself

I found them almost perchance, VoipStunt, VoipWise, InternetCalls...
VoipRaider's features are nearly identical to the ones of VoipWise, different graphical interface as like the different official website but the network and the functionality are equal to the ones of its clone softwares.
Just try to download and install both VoipStunt and VoipRaider, sign-up with both ones, it's not possible to use the same username for one and the other, I presume that the network and the sign-up servers are the same for all, after that from VoipStunt add a new contact specifying the username you choose for VoipRaider sign-up process, there you are in the list.

VoipWise

Born a "new" software for VoIP calls and free SMS sending very but very similar to the other ones I spoke about in an old little article.
Reading from the official site it seems that there's the way to make free calls over landline phones in the enabled countries:

Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States (mobile phone included).

The sending of free SMS is limited, as calls over landline phones, it's not understandable in what manner it is, but... better that nothing.
VoipWise is freely distributed and it is translated in many languages, after the short installation it is necessary to sign up with classic username and password, the registration process is quite immediate and easy to do, after that it will be possible begin to use VoipWise, between the features it's present the Phone2Phone function, simply inserting your own telephone number and the one you wish to call, it will be estabilished a direct call between the two phones, without computer aid.

SoliCall 1.4.1

About a years ago and more I wrote this little article regarding a software that improve the audio quality of calls with almost all softwares that implement this function.
In these days it has been released the 1.4.1 version, i didn't find out any document or changelog that describe the changes and improvements produced, but if you're using SoliCall, an upgrade is advised, the download page show many link to download the software, use just the first or second one because the other ones still have an old version.
It is recommended to uninstall the previous version before installing this last one.
