Still going to be dependent on the quality and reliability of your data connection, even if the codec uses less data.

Thanks!

I agree with you that setting up your own server is the best way. The best method that I found was using AWS EC2. I was going to try it out until I found I can use iLBC.
Can you do me a favor?...

Just found that talkatone uses speex codec, which I had been using before I found iLBC codec. Speex is a good but not the best codec for mobile connection.
