Data usage for voice isn't heavy, there isn't a tonne of overhead, and last figures I saw was similar/slightly higher than making a skype call. You can get a little voice latency though, sometimes noticeable, usually not.

No one supports femtocells they don't sell you and you can't just randomly grab one. The Optus trial is pay per month, I believe.

I had to take a day off work yesterday day to have an important 5 way phone call only to have my mobile constantly drop out which had the end result of having o reschedule the phone call. I am currently with Optus who have admitted poor coverage in my area to the extent that have cancelled my contract 23 months early!

However their usual tech support guys have no idea what I am talking about when I even mention femtocell. However knowing that I will be providing the backhaul how much data would it consume for a heavy user? Ie: when I am at home my mobile is my primary phone.
