Fring, Skype, and Nimbuzz are what I've used so far. Skype is good because of the interface but like fring, it takes awhile to load. Nimbuzz loads the fastest in my experience and supports skype, yahoo, google, aim, and a few others.

Jailbreak the iphone, install cydia, voipover3g and you have fring and skype calling over 3g network

I know it's supposedly not 100% legal but it makes a big difference on your mobile account in the end of the month

While the PPTP app already exists on the iPhone, an essential for those
overseas where VOIP is blocked is the vpn service to get past the censorship.

I think you are missing another mobile voip software which is also available on app store http://www.apple.com/webapp... . i am using this application on my iphone and feeling good to have this application. Cheaper then the others and the quality of voice is good.

The list of VoIP tools is incomplete without a mention of Gizmo5 (formerly Gizmo Project). In addition to Gizmo5 clients that can make and receive VoIP calls from Mac, Windows, Linux and nearly 2 dozen brands of wireless phones, a Gizmo5 account can be used from a browser at gizmocall.com.

Disclaimer: I used to work there, but since I was a happy customer before I worked there, I shrug off any notion of bias.

That's what i use Shape's s4iphone app. It is a web app that you pay for via a 1 time purchase or annual license that let's you tap your skype contact list and it uses skype out to connect you by basically making 2 calls and connecting them. I use it to call internationally from my iPhone using skype.

So, where the heck is Skype?

I realize that I wouldn't be able to receive calls when the app isn't running, etc. but for making overseas calls, I'd love to be able to use my iPhone!

What you need is regular a sip account and thenyou enter your sip id and password in the fring SIP interface (Fring can provide you access to other services also). To get the fring app I just registered me for free on the fring website. For the rest, SIP account, I have my own sip provider. Hope this helps

do they all require you to log into some service before you can use an arbitrary SIP server? all i want is a SIP client with NOTHING else attached.

I'm using Fring with voip SIP service and it' just works great. I just would like to have access to more more SIP settings like voice codecs.

ShapeServices has an iPhone web application that connects you via Skype. You can use SkypeOut and name a contact number you can be reached at. It then connects the two.
