It looks like iOS does not play well with others. I recently got my iPhone 4 and loaded the Gizmo5 app. While incoming calls are routed to both Gizmo5 and my AT&T number via GoogleVoice, the iPhone cannot handle it. The call fails no matter which I try to answer (Gizmo or AT&T). Any ideas?<br />

If I initiate a mobile call in my home through another means (wifi, sip, etc) and leave the house to run an errand, the call drops.</p>
<p>If I initiate a call through a femtocell, the call in theory continues (assuming there is coverage outside the walls of your house, maybe not a safe assumption, but for many that is the case)</p>WaltFrench commented on 'Why A Femtocell/Microcell Is of No Value Once Apple iOS Comes Out'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b99869e20133f1880250970b2010-06-21T13:57:01Z2010-06-28T17:45:23ZWaltFrenchhttp://profile.typepad.com/waltfrench1“Besides, why should the cable operators like COX, which is entering the mobile phone business, or Cablevision … want to...<p>“Besides, why should the cable operators like COX, which is entering the mobile phone business, or Cablevision … want to carry someone else's voice traffic for free…—but that's likely another story…”</p>
<p>And a big one, too: this seems to be the most important application for net neutrality yet. My government-guaranteed monopoly ISP is going to be able to choose how much I have to pay for phone service, too?</p>ttrentler commented on 'Why A Femtocell/Microcell Is of No Value Once Apple iOS Comes Out'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b99869e2013484ab9a61970c2010-06-20T16:16:31Z2010-06-26T13:36:12Zttrentlerhttp://profile.typepad.com/ttrentlerTwo solutions I like to reduce Cell costs for the Enterprise in this vain. . .

<p>I really like what Cisco is doing with it's mobility client for the iPhone / iPad. It already let's me use my enterprise phone number over wifi for no additional licensing cost. Once multitasking is added this will be a great app. </p>
<p>I also like the QuestCom Cell phone gateways for enterprise and SMB. Attach the gateway. Plug in a couple SIMs and get enterprise to mobile calling using an unlimited calling plan.</p>
<p>I'm curious to your thoughts on these Andy.</p>
