What should “Voice over WiFi” be called?

Tommi is frustrated over the fact that there is no easy way to say "Voice over WiFi" without confusing people into submission. I like "Net Call" simple, two words, very descriptive, it’s a call … over the net! Hell you can even cut the space out and just call it a netcall.
"Dammit Frank, I don’t have any signal in here!"
"Can you make a netcall?"
"Frank WTF is a netcall?"
"You use your wireless network to make a call dumbass, hence the term ‘netcall’ … got it?"
"I love you Frank!"
"Too much information Ted."
Got a little carried away in my mini screen play there. What term would you guys suggest?
I think “WiBother” would be an appropriate name.
I know you’re being sarcastic, but being able to make a call from your own wifi network is important.
Might not be important when a country is blanketed in WiMax, but that is atleast a decade off in my opinion.
I hope I’m proved wrong.
