iPhone users will now be able to use a SIP application directly when connected to WiFi hotspots to make free or reduced cost calls over the internet.

This brings the iPhone in line with other WiFi enabled smartphone which have SIP functionality directly available.

Sipgate appear to be offering their free iPhone product via their USA, UK and Austrian websites although, if the software is truly SIP compliant, there shouldn’t be any geographic limitations to its use.

The 700Mhz license which was won at auction by Verizon requires that they do not restrict the devices which can be used to connect to the network. It seems that Verizon may be trying to implement some restrictions and Google, who are likely to soon release an Android based phone, aren’t happy about it.

The 700Mhz spectrum allows for a contiguous wireless network, ideal for mobile VoIP devices, to operate across the continental United States.
