First post (should I call it virgin post ;-P) : mere waale iphone app

I had bought an iphone ard 2 months back. Most of my friends know that I have been struggling since then to justify this purchase. I like all the jazz of touch screen but I am not convinced on need to spend $$$ for a bigger phone (which is everything else but a good phone).


Come on face it - iphone is not a great phone. Hold one way and signal/voice will fade, hold close to your cheeks (spl if you have chubby cheeks like mine) then depending upon cheek's surface area, either factime will start, or mute or speaker will get on. Contact list is sorted on last name (pls who the hell does that). And for some reason, this phone doesn't work well with my car bluetooth (oh I love my car - but more on that some other time). Hence, it's not a good phone but, it's everything else.


Back to topic - I keep on trying all free apps . Recently I tried 'line2' and google voice. These app allows users to make VoIP calls which means free calls over wifi. Very simple to configure and use. Follow steps to select 2nd number and use these app to make calls with wifi connection without using minutes. Voice quality is perfect and they allows you to use iphone contact list to select numbers (no need to key in numbers).

 
These are THE app for a person like me who has become a big minute spender and who has started eating all those sweet saved roll over minutes to the extend that my husband has noticed that. So expect to get more calls from my 'other' number in evenings now :-)
