VOIP on tmobile, not paying for minutes, but paying for only data?

Hi,

I am very interested in the new android phones and maemo phones (n900) coming out. I am wondering if since these phones are open source, there must be VOIP applications be it skype or gizmo or sip. What I am wondering is if any of these applications for either android or maemo would have the ability to make calls over the data connection, not using minutes, but data so I don't have to pay all that much (if at all) for calling on the tmobile network. Again, this is a solution that would not use my minutes at all in any way shape or form, but just a data plan on tmobile. I have a google voice account, and a gizmo account, and would be willing to make any account neccessary in order to get this working. Please help, the fact that american carriers charge so much for voice and data is ridiculous and I want to find a work around.

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I think that because VOIP uses a lot of data, you have to make sure that you have an unlimited data plan on your cell phone account in order to make it worthwhile. If you have a cell plan that only gives you 25 or 50 megabytes a month then consider upgrading because you can blow through 50 megabytes in minutes. Since an unlimited data plan can easily cost a hundred dollars or more a month you have to make a lot of long distance phone calls to some pretty obscure countries before you'd start saving any money.
