I personally don’t have an iPhone…yet. I’ve been waiting for Verizon to carry the phone, however I may be swayed to get the new Nexus One by Google if it’s offered first. I do however have the iPod Touch, which is basically the same thing as the iPhone, but without the phone feature. For all of you who do have the iPhone and would like to reduce your “minute” usage or need better call quality while indoors, there might be a nice solution for you…as they say “there’s and app for that.”
Line2 is a VOIP app for the iPhone and iPod Touch that enables you to use your phone via wi-fi verses your cell service provider. The best part…it’s absolutely free for unlimited use (provided that you have a solid wi-fi connection). I should note, the app itself is not free, it costs $14.95 per month. Not cheap, but depending on your usage, it’s possible to use a less expensive plan with your wireless provider. You can also use Line2 with a 3G network if you don’t have wi-fi access, but the provider says that wi-fi works best—I would predict that once 4G is rolled out, this will not be the case.
Learn more about this new app by watching the video below. Or, by reading this article published by the NY Times yesterday. (Interestingly, the Line2 website was down most of the day yesterday, I assume it was from the resent surge in interest for their product due to the article)
