Re: Old style acounting, and old style plans

Taking the call time from your allowance when making a call over WiFi may seem a bit cheeky but you are still using their network. With a normal voice call your phone is connected to the nearest base station and the call is sent using their network. With a WiFi call (not Skype etc but a proper WiFi call now being introduced by EE in the UK) you may be using your broadband but that is still connecting the call through to their network and on to the end user.

I don't disagree it seems a bit of a scam but it only skips the first step of a standard voice call, the rest of still the same.
