    VoIP over 3G works successfully - however it depends on the bandwidth being used on the the cellsite you are connected to whether you will get an acceptable service. Each cellsite has a maximum bandwidth that has to be shared between all those users in the same area, those on 3G calls, Broadband Dongles, etc etc.

    There is no prioritisation of data traffic, so voice calls will be the first to suffer when the available bandwidth is shared.
