iCall Brings Seamless VoIP To IPhone Users

Posted by timothy on from the now-that's-tempting dept.

andrewmin writes "iCall, a company well known for offering free VoIP calling for Windows users, has just announced the first iPhone app that offers free phone calls over WiFi. It's also one of the first legal (in other words, non-jailbroken) VoIP apps. I don't have an iPhone, but if I did, you can be assured that I'd be on this in a second."

    This type of application is SPECIFICALLY ALLOWED by Apple. VOIP is fine as long as it is WiFi only, they have said.

    If you really think about it, it makes sense. It reduces stress on AT&T's network while at the same time making Apple's users happy.

  2. What about iPod Touch users? by richardtallent · · Score: 3, Interesting

    IIRC, the iPod Touch doesn't have a microphone, but I wonder whether (a) headset mics are still accessible, and (b) if iCall will support them?
