How to Set Up VoIP in Windows Mobile
An acronym for voice-over Internet protocol, VoIP is a system for making phone calls--whether on your mobile or on your personal computer--over the Internet. Calls using VoIP can dramatically decrease your service costs when conducting long distance or long, minutes-intensive calls. Although Windows Mobile is not equipped with a native VoIP application, you can download one of many third-party applications that will set up VoIP support on your device.
