Just trying to see if I figured this out correctly. Would appreciate a nod or tell me if I am wrong on this.
I'm a Verizon customer and have a Blackberry world phone. We are taking a trip to Israel soon. I believe that the Skype app. for my BB phone uses its voice channel and not the data channel. If it were data then there shouldn't be any per minute fee because the data is covered under the flat data plan. But, since treated as a voice call - it would be at the prevailing international roaming rate which is $1.99 per minute - a bit high except for very limited calling.
So, what I am wondering about is - if I use a Droid phone and the 3CX softphone app for the Droid - can I then make telephone calls from Israel that will be treated as data communication back to my 3CX server in the US without the roaming charges in Israel that I would have for voice calls?
Thanks.
