How to Get Free or Low-Cost VoIP on Your IPhone
A Guide to Scoring Cheap Personal and Businss VoIP on Your IPhone
Fring VoIP iPhone App
Fring is the premier iPhone VoIP application. It's available for free and lets you make free VoIP calls with ohter fring members or use Skype to make Skype VOIP calls to other Skype users or simply through your Skype account.
It also keeps track of all of your instant messaging contacts from Skype, Google Talk, MSN Messenger, Twitter and more - making it easier to keep it all in one place, instead of jumping around from application to application.
iCall actually lets you seamlessly transfer an inbound cell phone call to the free VoIP system - pretty slick. However, your iPhone has to be connected to wifi for this to work - that said, it's a great way to save your minutes. Right now, calls within the US and Canada are $0.02/minute on the iCall system with a basic iCall account
To make international calls, you need an iCall Pro account and you will be charged a small per-minute fee ($0.06/minute).
Truphone was the first company with a personal and business VoIP app in the iPhone app marketplace. Basically, users can make Truphone VoIP calls anytime they're connected to a wifi network (less than $0.01/minute for large-scale business VoIP users). However, you can't connect to the Truphone Anywhere service, a program that lets people make overseas calls on Truphone at an incredibly cheap rate.
This is a really interesting app for use in a business VoIP environment. For example, a large office, job site or work site (parks, malls, complexes, conference halls, etc) could save thousands on business VoIP costs by using a walkie talkie iPhone program that essentially connects users into groups - treating each phone like a walkie-talkie. The cost? Just $1.99 per phone.
