Three's InTouch (calls via WiFi App)

Frozen_up_north

For those with poor in-building coverage on Three, if they have broadband with WiFi the Three InTouch App for iPhone and Android should help.

See the Three Blog for more information. http://blog.three.co.uk/2014/07/30/three-intouch/

Unfortunately, it initially appears to only work for UK IP addresses. If it would also work from abroad without needing the complication, and potential expense, of a VPN tunnel to a UK IP address it would be brilliant.

... or use Skype?

Three used to promote its Sky facility quite aggressively. And Skype works internationally.

This has been rumoured for a while, so it's good to see it arrive, but the reviews on the Play store aren't great so far, with plenty of people observing that it doesn't work on rooted phones.

Edit: I just installed it, and it says my phone is rooted. I thought that involved the owner taking certain technical steps to achieve it, and I have not modified the phone at all.

System

It works okay but isn't brilliant like most VOIP applications - I would say the sound quality is similar to Viber.

The application keeps running in the background even when turned off which is a pain.

Also needs activated via a 3 data connection (initially and when the app is updated ) requires the three.co.uk APN rather than 3internet APN and will not activate when using 2G (EE) coverage.

Better than nothing but not as good as a real signal or even signal box.

But, is it better than an intermittent rubbish signal?

Not available for Symbian.

Maybe that's because it's a dead OS.

Photoshop CS6 isn't available for Windows 95 either.

Maybe but millions still use Symbian.

I would doubt your figure of millions of users on Three use Symbian handsets.

It's more likely to see a WP8 app next, while Symbian might not be totally dead, no one is going to be releasing apps for it.

BUMP

Is anyone trying this app

I'm finding it a bit 'buggy'

Texts seem to use the three app rather than my own android one and phone calls likewise
Incoming calls only give a short ring of my customised musical ringtone

:cool:
