TechNewsWorld released an article about how Skype (a free online voice over net service) and Broadreach Networks (who provides WiFi hotpots in the UK) are teaming up to offer free hotspot calls in the UK.

Though mobile WiFi VoIP is nowhere nearly as robust as a typical cell-phone you can bet it will be one day.

Skype has added the ability to send text messages to cell phones while using VoIP. Before this users could only recieve messages but now the gap is being closed between all forms of communication.

Keep your eyes open! Soon we will be able to use a single interface to  contact someone - blending phone, IM, email, fax, etc.
