So while I was browsing around some new iPhone applications this morning I came across a couple apps that offer wifi voice calls. Lets just say where I live has less than desirable iPhone reception. So the program called TruPhone allows you to make international calls via wifi. Any number, any country, and its cheap!
From your phone you can call any US or Canadian number for only $.015 a minute, and internationally you can call landlines for $.03 per minute, mobile phones for $.15 per minute, and TruPhone to TruPhone calls are FREE!
I also stumbled upon a program still in testing. A company from Greenwich Connecticut called iCall has come up with a similar program that allows you to make and even RECEIVE calls over a wireless network! They already have a program for windows that allows you to make and receive calls which is free, but they do offer a “pro” version. In their video they demonstrate how their program allows you to transfer phone calls from your cellular network, to wifi. Needless to say I’ve already signed up to join their beta tester program. Now of course we’ll be allowed to test it for them to find any possible bugs they haven’t caught yet so we’re helping them but, I also get to use this application in my bomb shelter of a home! Here is iCall’s demonstration video!
