When the iPad was launched a few weeks ago, the hype was enormous, and the iPad did come true the hype for the most part, and whatever was not available inbuilt in the iPhone will soon come out as add ons or widgets. One aspect that everyone was missing in the iPad was the ability to make voice phones. Now, a company has come out with a technology through which one can make cheap and free VoIP phone calls through the iPad.

truphone-ipad-applicationA company called Truphone has launched a widget type application that allows one to make VoIP calls through the iPad. Because the iPad has a mammoth screen, it becomes quite a dominant phone with this device. With the Truphone widget one can make free as well as economical voip phone calls.

With the Truphone application, one can make wireless VoIP calls using the WiFi and 3G technology. They are also allowed an integration of all their Instant messenger contacts, like AIM, MSN and Google Talk. Also, the user has a presence information with the application. The Truphone application also allows for free calls to Google Talk users and other Truphone users while the user is on WiFI.

Of course, this is not the last mobile phone application for the iPad. There will be several more as and when the iPad becomes more mainstream and the paper decide whether making calls with the iPad is a good idea or not.

The iPad has already become a raving success, with more than 300,000 iPad sold an insane number of applications downloaded on the first day itself. However, it remains to be seen whether the iPad will make any difference to the VoIP market, which has already been facing a crunch because of the various PDAs and smartphones that have inbuilt technology to offer cheap and in some cases free voip calls.

While the initial reports of the Truphone Application as well as the iPad are positive, many are not sure whether the iPad is made for VoIP or even basic voice calling. Many are still apprehensive about the design of the iPad, and are wondering whether it is feasible and practical to make phone calls out of the iPad.  Apart from making VoIP calls, the application also allows for people to chat with their contacts via all the common chat and IM software like Google Talk, AIM, etc.

The Internet has changed several aspects of our life, and just one of them is communication, or to be more precise, telecommunication.  At around the year 2004, VoIP came in a big way, and basically allowed people to transmit voice via the Internet Protocol, thereby allowing people to converse and voice chat over the Internet.

Today, there are several ways in which one can place VoIP phone calls, either free voip calls or paid. Free VoIP phone calls require both the parties to have an internet enabled computer, and have common chat software, which allows voice chatting capabilities.

To make paid VoIP phone calls, one requires two phones that are VoIP enabled, this may either be done by buying VoIP phones or buying adapters for the common phone.  In some cases, users are provided with software that they can use instead of a phone device. This software is known as soft phone. People can dial the number they wish to contact via this software.

free-international-callsWith the advent of the Internet and telecommunications, communication has become quite economical and in some cases – cheap. There was a time when making an international call would be hassle some and so expensive that people staying away from their families would have to budget their talk time with families.  However, the Internet and more importantly the technological advances that the Internet has taken have changed all this. Today, free international calls are possible over the Internet.

Today, anyone who has an internet enabled computer can make free international calls.

Most instant messengers today allow a person to make free international calls from computer to computer.

Basically, Internet telephony works over VoIP, an acronym for voice over internet protocol. This facility allows a person to place and receive voice calls over the Internet. There are several services that offer these facilities. Chief amongst them are Skype, Net2Phone and Gizmo.

Out of these services, Skype follows the freemium route, where users make a free account, use the software to speak between computers, and would need to buy points, known as Skype credits to speak from PC to mobile, or mobile to mobile. These services like Skype. Gizmo are now competed with old time Instant Messengers like Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk and Live Messenger.  Most of these messengers also allow the user to hook up a webcam, so that they can have video calls – and all this for free.

Of course, if you want better quality and resources, you could opt in for the paid service that services like Skype, Gizmo or Net2Phone offers. If you are using your computer to make free online calls, you should make sure that you have a good quality headphone and a mic.
