Voip service providers are embracing mobile voip, also called mvoip, to proliferate their voip solutions among users. The advantage of mobile voip is that their consumers can use their voip services without the need of any gadget other than their phone which they anyways carry with them. Vopium's
FREE international text messaging offer is a classic example of this. Today, we introduce Viber which is an iPhone application that lets you make absolutely F
REE international phone calls including free phone calls to india, China, Bangladesh and anywhere in the world where you can connect to the Internet using your iPhone.
What is Viber
Viber is a mobile Voip application that lets you make
free international phone calls to your friends worldwide when they download Viber on their phone. You do not even need to use your phone minutes to make free international calls. Only thing required is that your party should have Viber installed on their phones. Right now Viber is only available for iPhone but applications for other platforms such as Blackberry and Android are in the works. You can use Viber on both 3G and wi-fi. If you are not connected to internet you can make calls using your Cell phone service provider's network but that will be similar to making a normal phone call.
Gmail users in USA must have noticed a new contact "Call Phone" in their contacts. This is how Google plugged in

If you are a Gmail user and have not used this option before, you should totally try this service as this is convenient to use and handy at times, especially when you are inside a building where your cell service is not at its best. If you have issues using this service please let us know and we will help you get started with Free Calls anywhere in USA and Canada. The contact "call phone" looks like the following picture.
Voip service providers are continuously trying to get new customers, and to retain existing customers. Therefore, they usually come up with schemes with two pronged strategies: great offers to attract new customers, and ease of access to retain old ones. Since offers only for new customers can annoy existing ones, new offers are usually valid for existing customers too. We have witnessed one such example today by the newest offering from
Airtel Call Home. Lest you forgot, Airtel call home is offering
cheap phone calls to India for 1.6 cents/minute.
We wish all our readers merry Christmas and Happy New year. If you are yet to make some calls to your loved ones you might consider the offers we posted this month to save some money. For instance the
$6 free credit by Zenofon is good to wish a bunch of people Merry Christmas. If that is not enough for you, you can use
$2 free credit by MO-Call. If you are interested in making phone calls to more than one friend you can try
United conference to talk to a maximum of 10 people at the same time. Last but not the least, if you still need more credit spend 1$ and get
$10 worth of FREE talk time from Pingo, which is also our recommended hot offer.
Have Santa make a personalized call to a friend
If you want to wish your friends in United States you can use the service that we are introducing today. Although, this service is only good for calls to United States, you do not need to be in USA to use this service. Another catch is that the messages are pre recorded with some names. You can only use those names. Nevertheless, there are options to select names such as Friend or Mom, Dad etc. That way you can send a message to your friend which appears as if the message is from a friend, instead of your real name. If your name, however, is in the list you are good to go. The coupon code to get this for free is santafw. See the video to get more details.

Update: Airtel call home could not keep their lights on. They have shut down the service. If you are looking for an alternative check out
Rebtel or
IndiaLD. It has been a long time since we blogged about Airtel Call Home. With the neck and neck competition, it is difficult for big players to beat the small Voip providers that spring up every now and then. However, the customer loyality helps them keep their lights on, and make good profit too. Although, they have phone calling services for many countries, their offers for India are the ones that are known profoundly. If you remember their offer of
3000 free minutes and a digital TV was a big hit among our readers.
India at 1.6 cents per minute
We have criticized Airtel for their decieving advertising practices. They usually advertise their prices to be cheaper than they really are. For instance, the 600 minutes for $6 was advertised at India 1 cent per minute while that offer is actually 600 minutes for $10. The additional $4 was due to administrative fees. Now, Airtel has launched an offer where you get calls to India for a flat rate of 1.6 cents per minute, all inclusive.
