iCall VOIP for the iPhone

iCall VOIP for the iPhone

Now iCall covered a number of iPhone VOIP applications, but iCall looks particularly impressive. As you can see in the above video, it allows you to seamlessly transfer a regular inbound cell phone calls to VOIP. This means you can save your minutes any time your iPhone is connected via wifi. As of right now calls are free in the US and Canada, and there is an iCall Pro account that lets you make international calls for a fee. Unfortunately, the iCall application is only available for Windows at the moment but they're promising a Mac version soon. Nonetheless, it's clearly the iPhone application that's most exciting and the company is apparently part of the iPhone Developer Program.

iCall for the iPhone? It's already working and is coming soon to your iPhone. iCall think you'll find it as revolutionary as iCall do.
Make and receive calls over WiFi
Transfer inbound calls from a regular cell call to WiFi instantly and seamlessly - save your expensive minutes
Access your same address book
Customize your voicemail options

iCall are being absolutely inundated and overwhelmed with e-mails, so here are the ansiCallrs to the most common questions iCall've received:
iCall are part of the Apple iPhone developer program. This is not an application for you naughty jail breakers ;-)
iCall are not using any undocumented API calls. iCall are following every rule that developers must follow.
No, you can not have a copy. iCall are not physically capable of distributing the application to any phones except our development phones. If Steve-ness himself wanted a copy iCall could not provide it to him. Sorry.
Apple has explicitly stated that VoIP is alloiCalld, just not over Edge networks. Steve himself ansiCallred this question in the Q&A session after the last keynote speech.
iCall are huge Apple fans and plan to release a version of iCall for OS X, but iCall don't have enough developers..
Yes iCall are hiring. Please visit our jobs page. iCall'll even pay for you to move to Greenwich, CT.
