Pros
Review
The name of this service is quite eloquent – Free Call. It offers free calls to a handful of destinations around the world, above the unlimited free calls users can make among themselves on the network.
The app is quick to install, and upon registration, it runs you through some interesting preparation. It checks whether your bandwidth is good for VoIP calls, and also checks whether your audio output devices and microphone are OK. I liked this exercise.
However, there is a problem with the voice quality, which is probably it makes sure that other factors that affect voice quality are OK, if they cannot bank on the codec side.
Now, the free part isn’t exactly what you would think it is in the beginning. I thought that after installing and registering, I could make a call to one of the free destinations, the US for example.
I tried but it did not work. Then I learnt that free calls are available only for those users that have paid and added credit to their accounts. These users can then make the free calls to the listed destinations. When the user adds credit, he has 90 days to benefit from the free calls. Another restriction is that only 300 minutes of free call are allowed for a week.
Most of the destinations are for landline phones only, with the exception of the US, where both landline and mobile calls are free.
Now the rates are quite interesting. They are below the average for the market, especially if they are free for certain destinations. This is a service you can surely consider in view of cutting down your international calling costs, provided the location you call to is among the free destinations.
Free Call also has apps for iOS (iPhone and iPad), Android devices, Symbian phones, Windows Phone and BlackBerry devices.
The app has the bare minimum for a VoIP softphone, with not many features. There is however a contact list. You can also use Free Call with a SIP device.
