Free wifi calling on ipod touch

[Bird222]

Can someone recommend the most popular/preferred free wifi calling method on the ipod touch?

Facetime

Facetime obviously only really works if your calling other "i" devices that actually have that feature.

I'm not sure if it is the most popular, but Skype works quite well.

Skype works very well, and for a minimal amount you can get calling to other landlines and your own real phone number.

Skype is meh compared to Facetime.

Sounds like OP actually just wants to make a normal phone call. No frills attached. amirite?

 

[Bird222]

Yeah, no frills. Is there a google voice method that is available?

 

[Zinn]

Skype, as mentioned

The post above indicates that you have to pay for a phone number. I am looking for a solution with your own phone number but for free.

I'm sure there is something out there, but I doubt it is going to be very good. Yea, you do have to pay to call phones from Skype, but the fee is pretty nominal. I pay $2.99 (Canadian) and can call anywhere in Canada and the USA with unlimited minutes.

Found a couple of other things here: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/07/16/voip-apps-for-iphone-ipod-touch-the-only-2-that-matter/

Call any phone but an iPhone with it....O wait you cant.........

and how is it meh? Facetime doesnt do anything but a video call, skype does that, and way more. Not to mention it can video call with computers besides Macs, TVs, and other mobile devices besides iPhones.

You are going to have a very tough time as phone numbers cost money period. Skype is dirt cheap, for ~$50/year you can have unlimited inbound and outbound calls with your own phone number.

Google voice and skype should work fine. Think there are a couple other VoIP options too.

Easily resolved. Just make sure who you're calling has an iPhone/iPod touch.

Viber lets you make calls to normal numbers, as for receiving calls thats another story, they may have options but i dont know.

I will put my vote in for Skype. Great app

You're looking for an app called Talkatone. It uses your google voice number to make and receive calls and text messages.

Vtok is another option.
