Free long distance calling!
 
Saw this on RFD, pretty neat you get a new 778 number and you can make long distance or local calls!
Or you can use it for you're shady ass runs :troll:
Works on Iphone, Android, Desktop and soon Blackberry.
Forgot to mention you can either use WIFI or 3g/4g network, i think its like 1mb=1min
Fongo
Sound quality is pretty good as well.

Or just get Skype and spend a whopping 0.01c/min. I've made a ton of calls from Ger to Can over the last few months and have not even spent 5eur

"What are Fongo's long distance rates?
Rates are as low as 2 cents per minute to call the rest of Canada and anywhere in the US. Call to over 37 countries for as low as 3 cents per minute. Click here for our International Rates.
All calls to locations outside of our Free Calling Cities have a 4¢ connection fee.

Yeah, if i need to make LD calls, I usually get the other person to get skype, skype to skype is free anywhere in the world...

If you attend UBC before, you should have a campus login.
Go anywhere in the world, access internet, VPN to UBC, then use google talk. Free Long Distance There.

This method has been tested with my girlfriend in China (and China bans Google etc...)

This is how you cheat the system from google. VPN ftw!

Yeah I use Skype to Skype a lot, but I also call cell and landlines in Vancouver from Germany and it's always $0.01/min.

I'm waiting for Google Voice to come to Canada.

rageguy 02-07-2012 09:33 AM

Pretty good service. Good sound qualilty over 3G. Perfect for those with 6GB data plans. Super easy to set up on my iPhone. Got my 604 number easily.

iPhone users

nettalk
talkatone

Both allow you to call anywhere in North America over wifi or 3g

Magicjack also does this

TheKingdom2000 02-07-2012 12:14 PM

I use gmail to call.
I think there might be an app for iphone and android, google talk maybe?
Free long distance to can/usa. You don't get a phone number though.

invader 02-07-2012 12:47 PM

talkatone uses google voice servers

It's been 3 years since Google Voice was introduced and it still hasn't been available to Canada. :rukidding: You might just have to keep on waiting and waiting

This is practically useless for those with a plan like Holiday Miracle Plan on Wind or Mobilicity.

Are these apps able to receive phone calls?

Yes, it runs on the background, while draining more battery out of your phone.

Ch28 02-07-2012 05:49 PM

I used nettalk on my iPhone while I was vacationing in LA. Call quality was decent, but the quality varies as with all VOIP calling services and is entirely dependent on your 3g or wifi connection.

OriginalJC 02-07-2012 07:53 PM

Thanks.

I setup my number as a ontario number, so my family back east can save on LD charges.

Works perfectly

Dumbest thing ever, no way to quit the program on Android. I would force close it because I installed it just to see what it was about....a few hours later pops up again and doesn't have an exit/sign out option.

Un-installed it less than 24hrs later.

Viber people need to step their game up and get their app working for ICS. It's been a 3 month wait and a known issue with ICS and still no solution.

Can anyone extract the IPA file for Dell Voice?

Thanks!

shenmecar 02-10-2012 11:22 AM

Viber works well too....
