Vonage gives free VOIP calls and texts via Android app
Vonage has become a veritable player in the home phone industry in the US, thanks to ultra-cheap rates for its Voice Over Internet Protocol calling system. Now it’s making that service mobile via Android, and making a real case for VOIP-based service, if not VOIP-only phones. Customers who subscribe to Vonage at home can make domestic calls to anyone else with the app for free, and even those without an existing account can use the app to make calls to regular cell and landlines on a per-minute basis, Skype-style. The best part? It works on WiFi or mobile broadband, making Vonage a true mobile VOIP provider with no restrictions.
Other little touches surround the well thought-out app: a background service keeps an eye out for incoming calls to your Vonage number, and it integrates with your existing address book to check if you can call other Vonage customers or app users for free. Basic texting is included at no extra charge, much like the recently updated Google Voice. According to the app’s Android Market description, calls to to any number in the US, Canada or Puerto Rico will be free for a limited time… no matter where in the world your call originates.
There are a few restrictions. Calling when connected to a mobile network uses data instead of minutes, so using Vonage to completely replace your cell phone plan could get expensive fast. And the free US and Canada offer is limited to 3000 total minutes a month – though if you’re talking on the phone for 50 hours over 30 days, you’ll probably appreciate the gesture anyway. On that note, one impressive convenience feature is that you can add pre-paid calling credit directly from your Android Market account. Download the Vonage app for free here.

The Top Three VoIP Android Apps
Since the first VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) telecommunications systems were first designed for smartphones, a number of different companies have developed their own apps for Android-based handsets. Discovering which are the best Android VoIP apps is not an easy task in this congested marketplace, so in this article we take a look at some of the best free VoIP Android apps and discover which of all the apps available make our top three.
Best VOIP Apps for Android to Make Cheap International Calls & Save Money
Many of you must be aware of VOIP based internet calling services and many of these services have successfully arrived on mobile platforms as well. A lot of these apps are available on Android and many more have started to come out recently as well. VOIP has its own benefits both in terms of quality and cost when compared to standard telephony used. With an always on internet connection in most of today’s smartphones and advancing technologies like 4G, VOIP telephony certainly has a very bright future.
In this post, we will be looking into some of the best Android apps that can be used for making international calls. For most of these VOIP telephony services, the money amount is prepaid and has to be bought in fixed denominations with a credit card and it gets added to your account. After this, one can use this money to make calls and call rates vary from country to country.
1. Skype
Skype is one of the most famous VOIP services which initially started out as a free PC-PC calling client. Today, Skype has over 700 million users and is the most quickest and fastest platform for VOIP telephony. Skype has the best looking user interface and takes only a few steps to setup. If you don’t have an account, visit Skype.com to get one and add money to your Skype account by using the Skype Credit option on their website.
Skype can be used to communicate for free, when you are contacting another Skype user who may be logged in on his PC or smartphone. As long as the call is to another Skype user, Skype does not charge you for the same. This is the most widely used service and is really convenient when both the users are connected to Skype.
There are multiple payment plans available as well.
Pay as you go : It is useful for people who use it from time to time. Whenever needed, one can add credit to their account and use it as and when needed. The rates of this service vary from country to country and can be checked here.
Unlimited World Calling Plan : In this plan, you will have to pay a fixed amount of 13.99$ and you’re done for the month. You can use the Skype service to make an unlimited number of calls anywhere in the world. But note that these can be done only to fixed phone/landline numbers and not mobile phone/cellular numbers. Canada, China, Guam, Hong Kong, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Thailand and the United States are the only countries whose mobile numbers are free as well. Except these, this plan works out only for landline phones.
Unlimited Europe Calling Plan : The unlimited Europe plan costs you a fixed amount of $8.99 per month and this would give the user unlimited calling minutes throughout the 24 European countries
Note : The unlimited plans from Skype come with a Fair Usage Policy which states All calls will be disconnected and require a re-dial after a 2-hour duration.
Skype can be downloaded from the Play Store here .
2. Vonage
Vonage is the most widely used VOIP service within the Americas. It is more or less similar to Skype in terms of the voice quality it offers and Vonage has some great plans for those who sign up on a long term basis and choose a package accordingly. Call rates work out cheaper than Skype when chosen in this case and Vonage has a great application on Android as well.
Vonage Calling plans :
Vonage World Calling Plan: With Vonage World, you’ll be able to make unlimited calling throughout the world. Do note that these calls are only for landline/fixed line phones and for mobile phones, there is a limit of around 10 countries only. This will cost you 9.99$ per month for the first three months beyond which it is priced at 25.99$ exclusive of taxes. As already discussed, these plans are long term and to have the first three months charged at $9.99, you must sign up for a one-year contract without which right from the first month, charges will be at 25.99$ .
Vonage Plus 1000 Calling Plan : This plan costs you $54.99 per month. This is a fixed term plan and does not have any minimum contract to sign up for. With Vonage Plus 1000, calls can be made to countries all around the world to their fixed line/landline and mobile phones of 10 countries, similar to the World Calling Plan. What’s different is the user will also be getting 1000 premium minutes to make calls to other countries outside of their list.
The Vonage World Calling Plan is the best pick as it comes with the top 60 countries which are most reached at and even without a contract, costs 25.99$ while the Vonage Plus 1000 plan costs almost double the amount.
The Vonage App can be downloaded from the Play Store here .
3. Google Voice
Google Voice can be used to make calls using your landline phone, mobile phone, PC or even your Gmail page within your web browser. As long as you add credit using prepaid money system, Google Voice has decent rates which can be refilled as and when necessary. Check the rates here .
Google Voice has multiple other facilities like call forwarding, Voicemail, setting up an american number to receive phone calls, caller ID etc which can be cusotmized according to your needs making VOIP telephony as free and functional to use as normal phone communication.
It can be downloaded from the Play Store here .
The above apps are the good priced ones with reliable and good voice quality while other famous VOIP based apps include Voip Phone, Keyyo VOIP, JustVoip etc. Do check out these apps and consider switching to VOIP telephony using your Android smartphone device.

Android VoIP Apps: The Best Softphones For Android Phones
I want to make free calls from my Google Android mobile phone, from anywhere in the world to anyone, anywhere. I don’t want to pay too much for it. Am I being ridiculous? No, you’re not being ridiculous. All you need do is get yourself an Android compatible VoIP application.
It’s basically using your connection to the internet (provided by your network) as the medium for your voice call, rather than a regular phone line, which, of course, your network provider would usually charge you for. For example, if your phone is registered in the UK, you’re travelling in the US with a friend or colleague and you want to call them while you’re there, it’s going to cost you over £2 a minute to make the call. But with a VoIP call it could cost you a tiny fraction of that, or even nothing. The benefits of VoIP for mobile phones is clear.
There are now applications which enable those phones using Android (the operating system developed by Google) to access cheap calls as well. Initially it was only the T-mobile G1 (the first Android phone issued in the UK and the US) which enabled customers to access these applications. Coming in 2009, however, are new phones from Motorola, Huawei Technologies, Lenovo, HTC, Sony Ericsson and Samsung.
Here are few applications to consider for your handset.
TruphoneTruphone [Recommended]
Truphone Anywhere is a brilliant free VoIP app for Android-enabled mobile handsets and is available to download now on the Android Marketplace in the UK and the US. A German version of Truphone Anywhere is also available and will be the first native language multi-communications application in the Android Market in Germany and Austria when it launches later in 2009.
Truphone Anywhere for Android allows customers to take advantage of low international call rates, plus the cost of a local call. Truphone customers can also easily instant message their friends across a variety of networks including MSN, Yahoo!, Google Talk and Twitter from within one Android application.
The app is available now on Android, the Apple iPhone, the Apple iPod touch, Blackberry and Nokia devices.
Getting Truphone setup is easy: download their application and install onto your phone. The service uses your mobile phone’s WiFi connectivity to route calls over the internet. All calls between Truphone users are free, no matter where you are in the world.
SkypeSkype Lite
Skype (the company behind the world’s most popular online voice communication tool) also has a lite version of Skype, a ‘thin’ client for Skype, that can be downloaded on Android-powered devices and more than 100 other Java-enabled mobile phones.
This not only allows users to make and receive Skype-to-Skype calls to other Skype users anywhere in the world, but also send and receive instant messages to and from individuals or groups. In addition, it also allows users to see when their Skype contacts are online and available to chat.
The lite version of Skype works wherever your mobile phone works, without requiring a WiFi connection. It uses local air time and a mobile internet connection, so you need to have both a calling plan and a data plan as part of your mobile phone contract to use it. In addition to new Android handsets, this product also works on more than 100 of the most popular Java-enabled phones from the world’s top five handset manufacturers: LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson.
Skype lite is available globally for free, with the ability to make Skype-to-Skype calls and low cost calls to landlines and mobiles abroad currently available in ten countries: the United States, United Kingdom, Poland, Brazil (Rio and Sao Paolo), Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Australia and New Zealand.
iSkootiSkoot
Since 2007 iSkoot has helped to power the 3 Skypephone, the first ever mass-market Skype-enabled mobile handset offering integrated Skype as part of the standard package on the handset. iSkoot worked with Skype to develop software for the handset, which gives customers push-of-a-button access to their online Skype accounts. iSkoot launched the first and only carrier-grade, carrier-deployed Skype-for-Mobile application in 2006, and now powers the Mobile World Congress award-winning 3 Skypephone.
iSkoot for Android takes advantage of the voice-optimized circuit-switched network for delivery of voice communications, in keeping with its mission to engineer elegant and operator-friendly solutions to the challenge of bringing resource-intensive internet services to mobile handsets.
VoxofonVoxofon
Voxofon promises to be a real cost saver for anybody calling or travelling abroad. The system works seamlessly with your mobile phone, allowing users to place calls as usual using phone’s dialer or contact book. Voxofon simply re-routes any international calls.
After installing the application, all users need do is enter an international number into their phone and initiate a call. A Voxofon window will pop and display the exact rate you can expect to pay for any potential call. Customers then pay their individual operators for the cost of a local call and the application will use, on average, 1-2 KB of internet data for setting up the exchange. Voxofon accounts then get charged for the international part of call. But, of course, the exact Voxofon rates for the call will be displayed before the begins so all users know how much they are likely to be paying.
It’s not the cheapest of all the options here, but it’s an incredibly straight-forward Android VoIP solution.
MyGlobalTalkMyGlobalTalk
The standard MyGlobal Talk package works on any cell phone. When users sign up for the MyGlobalTalk package they are given a phone number to call allowing them to connect to their international contacts over the internet. All users then need do is call that number, wait for a prompt and then key in their international telephone number to be connected.
Android users can now download a special application from the Android Marketplace allowing them access to this service without having to make a phone call first and then punching in their international number. No need for a dialing code, a phone card or any complicated instructions. The application will the hard work for you. MGT are being cagey about how this works, however. Perhaps they’ll release their secret soon.

All users then need do is call that number, wait for a prompt and then key in their international telephone number to be connected.
Android users can now download a special application from the Android Marketplace allowing them access to this service without having to make a phone call first and then punching in their international number. No need for a dialing code, a phone card or any complicated instructions. The application will the hard work for you. MGT are being cagey about how this works, however. Perhaps they’ll release their secret soon.
