I recommend downloading/installing GrooVe IP whcih will allow you to use VoIP via 3/4G networks as well as WiFi. The only requirement with using GrooVe Ip is you have to have a GVC.

Wow thanks for mentioning grooveip worked great and was a snap to set up. Wish I had it when I had my G1 'cause I was getting free internet on it as long as i put 10 bucks every three months on my flexpay account. All well...

Once CM7 is updated to 2.3.4 I believe we should be able to make calls over data via gtalk.

Yes, once Gingerbread is updated to the .4 version, you'll be able to use Google Talk for VoIP. Until then, get GrooVe IP. As I mentioned in my earlier thread, all you need to do is sign up for a GVA to use with GrooVe IP.

VoIP in essence lilgrass71 takes an analog voice signal, converts it to binary code, sends it across the internet in data packets and converts it back to an analog voice signal on the receiver's end. Examples of VoIP are Vonage, Magic Jack and Google Voice.

I should have said Google Voice is VoIP when used via WiFi.

Nope. Texts sent via Voice app go over data but not calls. It still uses minutes.
