soooooo..... what is the exact point of YTL doing this when the app still needs an internet connection to do this? meaning iphone's 3G connection has to be on, non-3G ipad and ipod users need to stick to a wifi connection to use...

It's just not worth it. 2) If you are an existing subscriber of YES Wimax and an iphone/ipad/ipod user then this is a good value added features for alternative voice account. You don't need to buy Skype pay as you go credit any more for calling home from overseas using wifi network. For occasional calling home from overseas when travelling, Skype is the better choice because the Skype credit can last forever as long as you use it once every 180 days and also Skype is multi platforms. Another plus point for Skype is Skype to Skype is FREE and many friends and family on their Skype account during office hours whereas YES to YES is chargeable and non out of my list of contacts using it yet. My point exactly, with apps like Skype and FaceTime, the question is how feasible is it to be using this YES service? Why spend money to make calls and SMS over the Internet and get charged for it at the same time? While I agree that YES may charge less but it is also only for under the same network is it not? Digi has plans for voice calls and SMS with really low prices as well. So why not continue using the network that you've already signed with rather than taking up another number that you would need to pay for? My motive is not to argue with YES or it's distributors but just want to know how is this service to be of good towards it's users.
