iCall VOIP for iPhone


We covered a number of iPhone VOIP applications, but iCall looks particularly impressive. As you can see in the above video, it allows you to seamlessly transfer a regular inbound cell phone calls to VOIP. This means you can save your minutes any time your iPhone is connected via wifi. As of right now calls are free in the US and Canada, and there is an iCall Pro account that lets you make international calls for a fee. Unfortunately, the iCall application is only available for Windows at the moment but they're promising a Mac version soon. Nonetheless, it's clearly the iPhone application that's most exciting and the company is apparently part of the iPhone Developer Program.

Thanks, Ryan!

You want to be careful upgrading to the pro account which you need to make international calls. There is no mention of monthly charges in the terms or anywhere else for that matter. There is infact a charge of 4.99 dollars a month. This nugget is buried in the knowledge base.

Finding out about charges like this really irritates me.

Ok - why does this thing REQUIRE windows if it runs on an iPhone? I dont get it? Does the Windows client have to be running somewhere?
Otherwise this would be cool because I use VOPI2Go and the T-Mobile myFaves plan in the US to save a bucket load of minutes.

at all of you german/euro folk wonder whether or not you can make calls for free, go to the website, their slogan is "make and receive FREE phone calls" which ya know makes me think we'll be makin' free calls as well as answering them.

i remember seeing this on digg a few weeks ago. looks pretty cool, but i wish they would give us a little bit more info on things, a mac client/a way to go pro via the web, etc. or you know, they could just take the code they've written in xcode under that nasty nda/developer limits and compile it and send it to big boss or ste so we could test it now for them, and by test i mean enjoy and use the hell out of it.

Wow! This looks very promising :)
Aside from saving people minutes (because in the US you DO get charged for inbound calls), it would mean better call quality for areas with hardly any service (i.e. my house).

I always find it kind of ironic how a lot of iPhone applications like this were made for Windows but not Mac...

Anyway, looks promising :)
