Voice over Internet Protocol has come a long way baby!
There are many VoIP apps now available and they give fits to your mobile, landline and cable telephone providers alike. There are those that will mourn the loss of gobs of money by these competing carriers.
The fees they could have extracted from their long suffering customers instead continue on in their pockets. The spoils that the Internet continues to re-allocate continue to benefit the consumer and also those involved in the telephony category. The sound quality of these apps is often better than that of the mobile phone provider’s.
Save some money by using these 4 VoIP apps for the iPhone.
Tribair
Tribair includes support for 14 languages for international calling at greatly reduced rates. Users enjoy gratis calls between other subscribers. When you include free texting, photo and video messages, it may dovetail nicely with your current iPhone service to help you achieve optimal call quality with the lowest rates this side of Albania.

Hey Damian. Thanks, the site looks great!

If I could, I’d like to mention the MilliTalk VoIP app. It allows people to make free call each month. We give each MilliTalker a credit they can use for domestic or international calls. Also all MilliTalk to MilliTalk calls are free. Hope this helps!
Aloha Ryan, thank you for the suggestion. I will check out this app. Thanks, Damian

I have tried these apps, they are pretty good. Along with these I think one should consider http://www.maraconnect.com which is a recently launched app. Its simple, has some interesting features and claims to be having very economical call rates.
I tried MaraConnect recently. I can say based on my experience of using many VoIP apps, its really good. Simple, crisp, well built, strong connectivity and really low call rates for fixed and mobiles.
