No need to rub your eyes this morning or do a double take upon reading that headline.  It is true. AT&T has lifted the gate on VoIP iPhone apps that want to use the 3G networks.  iPhone apps like Skype were unable to make phone calls if not connected via a WiFi network.  It made sense to me why AT&T didn’t allow it.  VoIP totally bypasses the regular billing of minutes used for a phone call over the cellular network.  But now they are letting VoIP iPhone apps make those phone calls through their 3G networks.

Don’t expect VoIP apps to work over 3G networks today though.  Just expect it to happen soon. This is the first time I’ll be saying this on this site, but… Thank you AT&T.
