One I think is even less necessary is that from Sprint, I can get a static
IP for my iPhone for $3 per month. I don't know what having it would do for
me. I have heard that cell networks change your IP as often as every tower
you switch over to, so if you used voip over the connection, your server
would see stuff coming from a new IP and not know what to do with it,
dropping the call in the process. This assumes the providers don't have a
way to have that IP address follow your phone while data usage is in
progress.

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] UK ISP Static IP tip
Hi,
I signed up to www.plus.nethttp://www.plus.net the other week and we went
live in the house on Monday. The staff so far seem to be quite techy and
are all UK based.
I thought this wasn't happening anymore with the shortage of IPv4 addresses
, but for a one of off £5 charge I was able to get a static IP of them.
Remember back in the day when you could get one for free? Still though, I
was quite pleased with this.
Useful to know, if any of you need a static IP for home or work stuff.
Barry
