I've tried a couple of times on Vodafone and O2, without success. They
didn't seem to be blocking it, there seemed to be too much latency.
Maybe they are shaping it with QOS; it would be intersting to see if it
works insode a vpn. I'll try it.

Unless you have one of the 3G contracts with huge prepaid monthly data
usage, I don't think it would be economical except perhaps for some
international calls. (The only reason I was trying it was because I have
a gprs-only simcard from work, and was, um, 'curious' as to whether I
could make phone calls with it.
