I am looking for a cost effective tariff that will give me a decent data allowance which doesn't block voip traffic? I also need a phone from which I can make voip calls and supports high speed data applicable to the relevant network/tariff.

I've looked at T-Mobile Web'n'Walk Max - c£50-£55pcm so far (not sure about phone choice) but just wondered if I had alternatives?

Thanks in advance, Paul

Not 100% sure - I can't find whether its NOT allowed in the Terms & Conditions - but 3 offer a £10 mobile broadband package on top of any other tariff (even those at £15).

In fact, they offer a £5 XSeries Silver add-on for 'Unlimited' handset web-browsing and while I haven't been able to confirm for sure, there's nothing that states "No VoIP". They even offer a (presently Cut-down) version of Skype. I've been calling me other half, handset to handset, for free for AGES now!

In fact, I've just installed truphone VoIP on my Nokia N95 and it's worked perfectly fine with the £5 X-Series Silver add-on.

So, on an 18 month contract, £25 will get you 500 Mins, 100 texts, unlimited handset web (seemingly including VoIP) and a Nokia 6120 - a fab little Symbian Series 60v3 handset more than capable of running VoIP - at 3.5G speeds too.

£20 will get you 250 mins, 50 texts & unlimited handset web (18month contract again).

£33 will get you an AMAZING N95, 750 mins, 150 texts & Unilimited Handset Web.

It seems that 3 have not removed the SIP functionality from the N95 like Voda & orange have.

Not sure about the 6120, but a 3rd party app should side-step it anyway.

Ah - TBH I totaly forgot about 3!

This sounds really good though, tvm for the advice. I will look into this with great interest... Sounds like a bargain compared to the T-Mobile deal too
