I was soo happy about the VoIp calling for a few reason, one was to save minutes and money, but the other was my reception here isn't so good, so connecting to my wi-fi would be AWESOME - i wouldnt have to worry about my bars suddenly dropping from 3 to none.

So i dont entirely understand HOW th VoIp works. I mean, i KNOW it works through your wi-fi. GREAT, but i read about the minutes changes.. how to they change you? Do you need to set up an account through TruPhone?

I THOUGHT there was supposed to be a free app out there that just lets you use VoIp without a contract or any billing from another service provider.

I just wanted some clarification on the truphone descripition, and was wondering if there is something better coming?

I believe on their site they mention that truphone to truphone is free, otherwise you pay various rates depending on if it is a landline or a mobile, and where you are and where you are calling to.

Just have to go to their site and tease apart the details that impact your use.

so regardless, that means you need to have an account with them/

Is there any app whree you use your own provider to make calls without having an account.

I can see paying for using a service that i already paid for through my internet provider. That seems ludicrous!
