Vonage Mobile – the best free calling app for Android and iPhone

Vonage is a new mobile VoIP application, which has recently arrived on the Android Market and Apple’s App Store. The app is supposed to compete with Skype and according to it’s creators, it provides 30% cheaper conversations in 50 countries, based on the per-minutes rates + free international mobile calls (device-to-device).

The first time you start up the Vonage Mobile® application, you’re going to go through a quick setup and the app is going to ask for your mobile email, country of residence and mobile number. The latter is verified in the next step with either an SMS or a phone call. After that, it’s just a matter of synching your contacts and the application is ready for use – overall it’s very easy to install.

Vonage Mobile doesn’t limit calls to people with the app, or even to people who have a smartphone. You can call direct from Vonage Mobile to virtually any phone number on the planet. You can dial internationally without needing to activate special services with your mobile carrier. And most importantly, you can do this with the address book on your phone and your existing mobile number.

The interface of the application is also very nice – it’s divided in five sections: Contacts, Recent, Keyboard, Chats and Balance and some of them have their subsections, for instance, Contacts has three : All, Free Calls and Invite. Overall the UI is very well thought out and looks very polished.

Vonage Mobile® also has a few tricks up its sleeve. First of all it uses a special high-definition audio codec, which means it’s able to provide exceptional call-quality at speeds of just 64KBps, which is very impressive. This is certainly noticeable in real life, as we also found the sound quality was very good. Another nice feature is the in-app billing, which lets you charge your Vonage account through the Android Market or Apple’s App Store, so you don’t even have to share your credit card details with the application – there are two credit packs – $4.99 and $9.99.

Overall, this is a great iPhone and Android calling app and we strongly recommend it.

Download Vonage Mobile® now and check it out on your iPhone or Android phone. Invite your family and friends so you have someone to text or call, then let us know what you think – click here for direct download to your device.

Whether your phone is connected over 4G, 3G, or Wi-Fi, your entire address book is only a tap away. Just remember that calls still use a portion of your data plan!

Facebook is going to integrate video calls through Skype

Just as expected, the biggest social network has announced that they are going to integrate some services of the most popular VoIP program – Skype. That’s right, Facebook is going to enable video calls through Skype directly from your browser. This is going to allow all 750 million Facebook users to make video calls without the need of anything more than a browser. This feature is probably going to be introduced in the mobile apps too. As you probably know, with version 5.3 you can already check Facebook news, status updates and comments directly from Skype and with version 5.5 you’ll also be able to use Facebook chat. The new functions are also going to be released for Mac users too, but for now they will have to wait. Other new Facebook features are the group chat and the automatic adjustment of the simple chat to the size of your window.

ASTRO Manager

By default Android File Manager application has not been completed. But not a problem for Android, because at the Android Market applications, there is so much content manager application for download. The choice of this application because of the features and facilities there are quite complete, such as applications to open the file compression, function as task manager, perform backups, and some kind of applications you use frequently.

Advanced Task Manager Free

Like most SMARTPHONES, Android can also perform multitasking in which multiple applications can work simultaneously at the same time. Usually if this application has been used, the phone using the Android operating system will feel slower and decreased performance. To cope with this sort of thing, then you can download Task Manager Application.

News Robs

News Robs is an application used to receive RSS for Google Reader. In fact this application is a paid application, but the free application of this system is powerful enough too used. News Robs freeware version can synchronize automatically or periodically. In addition, we can also manage content on the articles received, such as text, images, and several other applications.

VOIP and Chat

If your Android phone equipped with unlimited Internet package, why not use VOIP to make phone calls for free? In the Android Market, you can try FRING which are free. The advantage of this application compared to other VOIP applications is the ability to make video calls. While you chat you can use MEEBO, EBUDDY, PALRINGO, Instant Messaging, or other applications that are readily available in the Android Market.
