Chances are you cannot use VOIP with an existing "older" model cell phone. However, newer models with WiFi - a feature that can allows you to access local wireless area networks - can make and receive VOIP calls. When you make a call with a WiFi enabled cell phone, your voice travels wirelessly (over RF) to a WiFi radio receiver which is in turn connected into the Internet.

If you can have access to an ethernet connection or wireless access point, then providing there are no firewall issues, you can use your VoIP phone as though you are at your desk.

A Freshtel internet phone call uses about 3KB/sec (three kilobytes per second) inbound and outbound. This translates to a little over 10MB per hour. This is based on a single call using the standard codec (iLBC).

You can calculate the amount of bandwidth by multiplying the size of your file times the number of susbscribers times the number of times you publish new audio each month.
