Skype On Verizon – Voice Plan
Create an ad Tuesday that Verizon Wireless will allow its users to Skype calls in nine of its smartphones, is an important reference point in the mobile management industry. If you connect the dots, it seems the traditional plan, wireless voice to the endangered species. Her death can not come at night, or even a few years, but their days are numbered.
Seem at first glance, Skype, services VoIP, inexpensive phone that works on data networks, eliminating the need in terms of votes Verizon. It will not work this way, however, such as Skype calls to be routed to a telephone network from Verizon. And even if Skype does not use the voice network company, Verizon can also ask their customers to buy a smartphone voice plan. After all, wireless service providers is still a considerable chunk of their revenues from voice services. That is, will soon change, however.
LTE: The Game-Changer
Implementation of LTE (Long Term Evolution), or 4G, mobile, and standardization efforts to provide voice services over LTE traditional voice and data plan to change the choice for users of smartphones. But do not expect changes overnight.
“Finally we are going, but I think we will see at the end of the traditional voice plans that we have for a long time,” says Francis Sideco, wireless communications analyst at iSuppli. For mobile phones, data plans are only a few years, said, Sideco. Dismantling of networks of mobile voice does not necessarily mean the end of the minute (or unlimited today) is planning to vote.
Technically, there is no reason why the wireless service provider does not charge per minute in the LTE network. “Skype is currently paying for each minute, and they are voice over IP,” said Sideco.
Impact iPad’s
The arrival of mobile devices, which are not smartphones, including iPad tablet and the like, will do this, only wireless plans more frequently. Are “As soon as the first pages of LTE with Verizon, there is no reason for the device as a tablet iPad or other can not exist for Skype voice,” said Sideco.
In this scenario, calls to wireless subscribers with data plans could only be audio or video on Skype, for example. Depending on how he can accept cellular communications services in a few years look very different from today. Cheaper there yet to be seen.
