MVNO - mobile virtual network operator

not MNVO

I have both apps installed in phone and tablet.

the sim is inserted in tablet.

the usual internet browsing etc still occur
- via wifi, OR
- via mobile data through SIMs of other telcos, OR
- via mobile data through tapp's own SIM if I have mobile data allocation

the one thing I don't like about this tapp is the need to run vpn in the background.

it does not seem to take over my internet routing i.e. I can see whatismyip didn't change when connected to tapp's vpn. I believe it is only required for the tappconnect app to route certain IP to get in touch with their voice and messaging secure servers deep inside protected network.

since there can only be 1 VPN up at any time, that means I cannot have my private browsing vpn up If I wish to keep being reachable on tapp.

which begs anither question - if I don't have the mobile data allocation on tapp's SIM, will I be able to VPN to the voice and messaging servers as I travel around...(?)

the voice and messaging apps does not really mind which internet line you are using, be it office wifi, unifi, screamyx, time, maxis, digi, celcom, ...., overseas internet provider, ...., did I mention everyone already? the only thing is you need to be on tapp's vpn to access the voice and messaging.


my current believe is that the sim is mainly so that you can benefit from the data that you have allocated to yourself when you subscribed tapp, when you are out and about.

...and when you have data, you must vpn to reach tapp's voice and messaging.

hooray. now it is acceptable. forcing to use vpn was a sucky move.
