Free VoIP Calls between Facebook Users
A VoIP company is allowing you to make calls to your facebook friends. The app was produced by Vonage and is available for both the iPhone and the Android.
The amazing thing about this app is that you don't even need a phone to make calls, you could make them from devices such as the iPod Touch.
The VoIP connection can be established between the callers as long as both of them have the app. It is free to download and it works on both Wi-Fi and 3G networks.
This app is actually only in its preliminary development stages and later versions are expected cater for the iPad with features like SMS, instant messaging and much more. However as the Guardian puts it so succinctly: "The release of this new app provokes an unavoidable question: how many of your Facebook friends would you feel comfortable calling your mobile phone?"
Facebook was quick to stress that the app would comply with privacy concerns. Michael Tempora, senior VP at Vonage, said: "You always have ability to decline a call. Incoming calls will ring your phone and users will still have the option to decline or accept.
He added: "Future releases will also add a call blocking capability. A consumer can always choose not to download the application or de-friend someone on Facebook. This app adheres to all Facebook's rights and responsibilities."
Methinks he doth protest too much?
