admin — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 21:42:00 +0000

As the advancements in VoIP apps progresses, the way we make phone calls is constantly changing. Many of the VoIP applications make it possible to video chat or make phone calls for free. To use and download any VoIP application for your smartphone, access to a mobile broadband connection is needed. While there are many VoIP apps available to download on your smartphone, these are 5 of the best.

Skype

Skype is the largest and most used of the VoIP apps. It is available on just about every smart phone market including the iPhone and Android. The Skype app allows you to be able to send and receive calls and instant messages from other Skype users all around the world. This means video calls can be made to a desktop using your phone with the Skype app. To use Skype on your smart phone, a 3G (or 4G) mobile broadband signal is required.

Fring

The Fring application allows its users to send instant messages and make video calls for free. To be able to contact another person, they must also have the Fring app downloaded on their smart phone and a very good mobile broadband connection. Fring allows for you to access multiple instant messaging services using one app including Google Talk, MSN, Yahoo and AIM.

Vopium

The Vopium app is available for both the iPhone and Android smart phones, and it allows for 15 minutes of free calling to anywhere in the world. 15 free messages can also be sent when using the app. Vopium has several features that help separate it from the other VoIP apps available today. Unlike most other VoIP apps, Vopium allows you to call any phone in the world and it retains your original cell phone number. Once the 15 free minutes of call are over, Vopium will also find a way to redirect the call to save you money.

Viber

Viber is a VoIP app that allows for free calls to people that have Viber downloaded on their smart phone. The app is available on the iPhone and all Android smart phones. In addition to allowing you to make free phone calls, Viber also features enhance call quality.

Vonage

Vonage is used by millions of people in their household to make cheaper international calls, but it is now available on your cell phone. Subscribers to Vonage can make an unlimited amount of phone calls using their smart phone through the Vonage app. This app will not be used by everyone, but it is handy for the people that subscribe to the service.

Nimbuzz for your mobile voip over Wi-Fi and 3G

admin — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 21:59:16 +0000

Nimbuzz messenger is one of the best All-in-one program for your Mobile VoIP and you can use it for different different type of communications. It have some outstanding features like VoIP calls via Skype, Yahoo chat, Windows live messenger, Gtalk, ICQ, Facebook and MySpace etc, even twitter. The Nimbuzz applicataion is free which works on almost all mobile brands. You can even use it on your computer.

This applicatioin came in the market in 2007 and with the time it got attention with new features and compatibility support from more cell phones. I'd say Fring no more king, see in the below google trends image.

Fring Vs Nimbuzz (according to Google Trends)

Yesterday, currently there is version of Nimbuzz for iPhone 3.0, and is really complete functionalities: Nimbuzz version for iPhone 4 is also on the way to launched.

Free manage your Skype contacts, Google Talk, Windows Messenger, etc. WiFi through

Low-cost calls to landline and mobile Skype-Out

Low-cost calls to mobile and landline via SIP, thanks to agreements with suppliers Gizmo5, Sipgate Vyke and others. Even in the music player iPod Touch, which was not originally designed to make calls.

3G calls over by "Dial-Up VoIP" to 50 countries, designed so that when you can not have access to WiFi, do a cheap local call and connect to their VoIP servers.

The last thing is missing from such types of applications for the iPhone is the ability to receive incoming calls and connections. As indicated in Voxilla, functionality Push Notifications who come from Apple promising a year back, not just arrived, and may be under-pressure from the operators. And it is this type of functionality would open a new way to third party programs to complete the cycle and to receive incoming calls to an iPhone, without having to call the phone number of the operator, but via other services such as Skype and SIP, etc..and the operators are afraid.

Skype Vs Oovoo – Comparison

admin — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 10:57:49 +0000

Here is analysis of ooVoo, a free program like Skype for video and audio VoIP calls.

In this analysis we performed the tests to evaluate the both programs. We have installed both programs on Windows machine and there was no compatibility problem. They can "run" together.

Skype and ooVoo are programs which can make free audio and video calls from computer to computer over the Internet using microphone and webcam.

Operating system and language:

Skype 4.2.: There are versions of Skype for Windows, Mac and Linux. Translated into Spanish and many other languages

ooVoo 2.8: There are versions for Windows and Mac, not Linux. Translated into Spanish and others.

Video call:

Skype: Video calls only between two users. You can not adjust the size of your own window. It allows full screen

ooVoo: Multiple users simultaneously show up. Free version with banner advertising. The default window size is the same, but you can put something bigger window you choose. It does not allow full screen.

Skype video call

OoVoo video call

Chat:

Skype: Chat with emoticons.

ooVoo: Chat without emoticons. With publicity, at least in free version.

File Transfer:

Skype: No size limit (I know people who go movies for Skype). It supports simultaneous transfer.

ooVoo: 25 MB limit. Simultaneous transfer of up to 20 files.

Call Recording / video:

Skype: Through third-party software such as Pamela (fee € 15) or many others. In this forum thread also speaking of programs to record Skype calls.

ooVoo: Possible during the first month free. Since then, with a maximum of 1 minute. No limit on your plan ooVoo Super ($ 10 per month).

The recording is of the entire window with all participants and informed them that it is carrying out the recording of the call with a little notice. It is extremely easy to make the recording and everything is done automatically.

Multi – conference:

Skype: No video support multiple simultaneous calls, but audio conferences with up to 24 people, including phone calls to landline or skype. A few years ago could use a program called vSkype which was renamed Festoon for video conferencing, but disappeared. http://www.festooninc.com

ooVoo: In our opinion the strength of ooVoo. Supports multi-conference free of charge up to 3 people. You can try the first month free for conferences for up to 6 people.

Private dining rooms for video chat:

Skype: No.

ooVoo: On the Web can access ooVoo.com a section where you create video web chat rooms (in English, this section is not translated into Spanish), which create an inviting room for 6 people. You can put password or leave it open. The difference with a multi-conference is that you need not be present in the "room", but you can create it for others to access it.

Also you can embed in your website through a script, being necessary to have Java installed for visitors to the website will work.

They have opened up the API (library for developers) to better control the functions of these rooms, and shows some examples of usage.

Video conferencing via the web without software installation:

Skype: No. You need to have installed Skype features on both sides of the Skype program.

ooVoo. If you've installed ooVoo will see that you have a personal web address type http://webvideocall.oovoo.com/callme/ … If you pass this web address to others, you can make video calls (multiple) with them without having to install anything, just through the browser if they have Java installed. More

We tested this form of video calling and is really comfortable for that kind of friends who are too lazy to install Skype to talk. Or is useful at times have to do a video conference in someone else's computer. It is quite easy.

Oovoo free download : Skype free download

Conclusion:

Skype is more comfortable, with better design and higher quality than ooVoo video call, and offers calls to phone numbers via SkypeOut at a low price. But the experience of making a conference call easily, without your contacts are to install anything and even being able to record that experiencemakes ooVoo has its place in the world VoIP … or at least until Skype remove this functionality.

Skype for iPhone and BlackBerry

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:51:40 +0000

This Tuesday Skype unofficially launches the popular VoIP program for iPhones and iPod Touch, both devices with wireless Internet. As per Scott Durchslag, chief operating officer of Skype that the clients are themselves have stressed the need to run the program on the phone and music player from Apple.

Same way, Skype will be available to users of (RIM) Research in Motion, maker of Black Berry, in mid-May. The Skpye application is already inroduced for Nokia mobile phones., which was held in mid February in Barcelona, as well as devices that operate with the operating system Android, Google, and Windows Mobile, Microsoft.
It will start a small revolution within the phone device market of the possibility of making calls through internet connection at a cost far low than a cell phone plan. Some cellular networks/operators is having fear that the introduction of Skype may reduce the profits of the operators of the networks because user will prefer using Skype at their cell phones as it is free and low cost plan.

The Skype can unseat the use of roaming due to its high costs: a person who crosses the border of your cellular operator may, with a network connection, make free calls from their contacts or any other phone for very less money than is necessary to make roaming.

However, one aspect which may discourage users who have Skype iPhone is the inability, at least for now, to use the video, one of the strengths of this application. In this regard, Durchslag said “We are considering the topic of the video because we have a very high standard for this function. One of the amazing feature of the mobile version of Skype is its ability to sync with the iPhone’s and BlackBerry contact list, and hence this user do not need any dublicate contact list.
Downloading the program is free. You can see further detail here http://www.skype.com/m
