These days if you don’t have a mobile phone then you are considered old school. Actually, we are getting closer and closer to a day when making phone calls won’t cost us any money and they take place solely on data connections instead of wireless phone signals. That is what a free calling app does.

If you have an Android or iOS phone or tablet, having a free app that lets you make calls to any phone number can be a big bonus. Mobile plans with local providers can be confusing and expensive. Get a free calling app such Dingtone, TalkU, Wephone to make low cost or free local and even international calls can save you money, time and frustration.

Many calling apps have limited abilities. For example, some calling apps like Viber can only make calls to others with the same app. People with the same kind of phone (iPhone or Android) don’t need a separate app to make free calls and texts to each other but they cannot do that with others who have different phones. When choosing a free calling app, you should consider one that lets you make calls across any platform and to any landline and mobile number. While there are many established calling apps, such as Google Voice, Skype, Wephone etc., many new apps have come into the market which deserves your attention and may even be better at meeting your needs.

So in this list we’ll take a look at some of the best free calling apps.
