Whether you have an iPhone for an Android device, you should definitely make sure that you know about all of the different VoIP options on your cell phone. While you do not need to go all out and replace your mobile plan with a VoIP subscription, it is important to at least understand the impact of these apps. VoIP is growing on a daily basis, and the CEOs of all the major cell phone service providers know that VoIP is the future. Once people realize that they can make phone calls through the Internet with their data plan or WiFi connection, there is really no reason for them to pay AT&T or Verizon on a monthly basis to make phone calls. Through the use of the following VoIP applications, you will be able to make phone calls at a lower overall cost.
Skype – 
Skype is the big fish when it comes to VoIP companies, and it would be incorrect to say that anyone else is really close. Most people are already aware of Skype’s ability to connect people for a phone conversation over their computers, but you can also use this setup to make Skype calls from your phone. Skype to Skype calls are completely free, which means you are able to talk to almost everyone without having to pay for a phone plan.
Fring –
Fring is one of the few other companies on this list that people may have actually heard about. This app allows you to combine a number of different communication portals into one location. Fring basically wants to be your ultimate hub for any communication that your participate in throughout the day. Whether you are chatting online, making calls or posting to a social networking account, Fring wants to be a part of the communication.
Beejive –
Beejive is an interesting app that allows you to basically do anything when it comes to communication. VoIP calls are only one part of the equation when it comes to this app, as it will also help you manage all of your communication options in one place.
Vonage –
Vonage is the company that wants to do everything Skype can do plus more. They want to be your go to service for calls on the go and calls from home. One of the added perks of the Vonage app is that you can use it to call mobile and landline numbers in addition to other Vonage users.
AIM Mobile Chat –
Before Skype existed, there was the option to chat live with a friend on AOL Instant Messenger. Although Skype is definitely the powerhouse in the VoIP industry, AIM Mobile Chat definitely paved the way for Skype’s success. AIM is a great mobile communication platform, but people have actually migrated away from it over the years.
