Turn your iPhone into a VoIP device and make free calls over Wi-Fi. Fring for iPhone lets you do just that. Honestly. Over Wi-Fi. For free. On your phone
Available for free at Apple’s App Store (part of iTunes), Fring lets you call other "fringsters" or other IM buddies using Skype, MSN Messenger, Google Talk and ICQ. Other IM clients are supported, too, such as AIM and Yahoo -- but for text chats only. (Apple iPod Touch owners can also install and use Fring for IM chats and file transfer).
You can also add Twitter to Fring in the same way you’d add a VoIP service: simply type in username and password.
The colour-coded buddy list shows you who's available on the main Fring screen: green is available, orange is busy and grey is offline. To receive a Fring call, the nickname of a friend will appear on your iPhone screen, and then you tap Accept to begin the conversation.
Based on our testing, audio quality was decent when calling Skype friends on a PC. We experienced a bit of an echo on one of three calls we made -- but hey, it was a free long distance call.
While not free, Fring users can tap the Dialer tab to bring up a soft keypad and dial a landline or cell phone using SkypeOut or one of hundreds of SIP-based providers including VoIPCheap, Eutelia, GizmoProject and SIPNET.

Hi
Ihave tried IGONET voip system and it is the best
It makes any system Bell or Rogers has seem so backwards and appears as to be very outdated Technology
It is such a good service that the big Red and Blue companies are very nervous and cannot seem to handle the challenge and fair competition

Hi everyone
Once in awhile something good comes along.
Would you like to make your phone number portable and make calls from your laptop to home free all under one bill and service?
How about free phone service?
Yes it is possible!Search www.igonet.biz/jarcherenterprises You can even use a wifi phone with it and enjoy all the benefits of phone service on broadband. And what about security? Well no phone system is 100% secure as we all know about wire tapping etc. Don't we?
But IGONET's security is about the best you can get because it uses a system equal to the top banking conglomerates in the world. So what are you waiting for check out this great service you will be glad you did.
Regards to all J.Archer

Hey guys,
When I was trying to unlock my iPhone, people were charging anywhere from $29.95 to $79.95 even in google.
So I looked around and I found http://www.MemorySticksSale.com
They have these cool sim chip thing that you put into your phone and it will automatically unlock.
It works with not only IPhones but other phones too. And they also had Sony Memory Sticks at really low prices.
Seems like they awesome deals. So just wanted to give everyone a heads up. Check it out:
