The reason that no VoIP client is offered on any 2.xG/EDGE cell phone is that response times in the general architecture are unbearably prolonged. This is well known in certain segments of the mobile carrier universe; several carriers experimented with VoIP for Push-to-Talk services and gave up. Skype has as well recognized it if you read some of the FAQ’s on mobile services. Also you would tie up lots of resources (unnecessarily), both on the device (CPU especially) and on the data network with a VoIP call. 2 services offer a VoIP on the mobile phone functioning through a 3G service: Skype for Windows Mobile and Truphone. Both, nevertheless, admonish you that you may have excessive data programme usage and tolls. VoIP on WiFi works beautifully but not over wireless carrier information networks. I go back to what I have enunciated for a while now; Give me the IM on the device platform itself but use some underlying circuit switched service to make the calls. Many past examples are on Skype Journal; search “Skype Blackberry” to see all the posts.

Hi – really great website you have established. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to issue a comment to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically sweet. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor in chief for a marketing firm. I have always enjoyed functioning with computing machines and am trying to learn code in my spare time (which there is never enough of lol).

Keno:

You are the second person to mention Mail Chimp to me. The other is a level 1 contact from Linkedin. I thought she was joking me. After you mentioned it, I looked it up. I’ve signed up for a free account and I’ll play with it, with a handful of test subjects (i.e. pulling arms of some friends).

I also know other friends using Aweber and they like it.

Don’t forget MailChimp!

I use both Aweber and more recently MailChip.

What I like most about Aweber is that once I add the code to my website I never have to touch it again even if I change my sign-up for layout.

I use Aweber here: TheEasyFSBO.com

For all you start-ups and small biz folks out there MailChimp is FREE for 500 contacts!!!
