SUMMARY: Make free VoIP calls from your iPhone

Voice over IP is a service that uses the internet to hold conversations as opposed to cellphone signals. The service is poised to take over the mobile industry and replace the current cellphone system. iCall Free VoIP is an app that is trying to take that transition and add it to the iPhone. The app operates on a subscription-based plan which really is very cheap. It allows you to make calls over 3G or Wifi to everyone in your contacts list for free if you are willing to put up with limited features and the occasional ad.

The premium package adds features such as call switching from cell to 3g, infinite call time and much more. To try it out, I called my friend Jake and held a short conversation with him. The call quality was definitely not as high as my normal experience but one thing that made a huge difference was the consistency of the call. Because iCall doesn't need to rely on cell signals, I could go into my basement where I have no signal and still maintain a good call.

Overall, the app worked perfectly as advertised and I had no problems. If you have a problem with going over your minutes and get sick of paying way too much for your service, check iCall out. It's free to try so you have nothing to lose.
