i have a treo 700wx tried to connect to sprint was not able to so i down loaded skype for cellphones and bought a fixed number and a wifi card now i can call any one any where no contract or minutes to worry about, any one calling my fixed number calls for free if they live in the usa,if i travel my number is still local to the new country that i am in.

I have a treo 650. What are the specifics on your setup? GSM treo with a sim card? (Mine isn't :grrr: ) Which wireless card and where'd you get it?

I have voip at home and would love to be able to use my treo as a handset, even if it was only around the house.

fishermandmm this sounds interesting to explore.. would you consider maybe write up on how you did the set up and im confused of how the wifi card really plays a role.. becuase i see you said you can go to another country and use your phone so what does the wifi card help out

the wifi card is so that you can connect to the internet,if you have it built
in than you do not need it.in order for skype to work you have to have a connection.email me at www.fishermandmm@hotmail.com and i will give it to you step by step.
