Yess! a smart guess is all you need, if you are lucky enough you will be the Winner of FREE Calling minutes and Texts/SMS 

Remember the days when we used to send postcards and letters to loved ones? Waiting for a reply, then writing back, and once again waiting for an answer…? It was indeed fascinating and full of charm, but quite time prolonging. Then we had various other means of communication like telephone, email, fax, and now just a simple text message can express all that you want to.

Well, once again, FriendCaller has broadened its services for you. This month, experience two exciting new offers from your favorite Video calling app. Free US number, and Text Messaging.

Free US Number

Become one of the first to reserve your Free personal US number (more countries soon), which you can share with all your contacts, and when they call that number, your FriendCaller account will ring up.

You will get a real phone number with an area code, just like any other US phone number, and this number can be used for incoming/outgoing calls and text messages, and also comes with a Caller-ID.

This way you can really convert your iPod touch, iPad, and even PC or MAC, into a full-featured phone, without any additional cost. This service is free for the first month, after which a nominal monthly charge of less than a dollar will apply.

Log on to FriendCaller on your desired platform, and reserve your own personal number today.

Hurry up, as there are a limited amount of numbers for available area codes.

Text Messaging

For under just 5cents, you can send a text message, no matter which network out of 400+ across the world is the destination number. Text messages sent to your contacts will appear as being sent from your cell phone number.

Apple revealed its new iPhone 4 featuring FaceTime, which makes the dream of video calling a reality, and Apple’s stunning new Retina display, the highest resolution display ever built into a phone, resulting in super crisp text, images and video. Furthermore, iPhone 4 is equipped with a 5 megapixel camera that has a LED flash with it. HD video recording is one of the features of iPhone 4 that will help sweeping the smartphone market with glory.

iPhone 4 comes with the new Apple iOS 4. Multitasking, Folders, enhanced Mail, deeper Enterprise support and Apple’s new iAd mobile advertising platform. There are over 100 new features as compared to the last model, iPhone 3GS. The new iBooks app is also included in the iOS 4, and one can sync their books with bookstores, and can also read and store PDFs in iBooks. There are over 60,000 books available in the iBookstore, and since the launch of Apple’s iPad (two months ago), five million books have been downloaded.

iPhone 4 users will be able to experience an amazing talk time of over seven hours on 3G networks, and up to 10 hours of web browsing on Wi-Fi and up to six hours of web browsing on 3G. The battery life and graphic performance is enhanced due to the use of the Apple’s new A4 processor. iPhone 4 also offers 802.11 n Wi-Fi networking and adds quad-band HSUPA to provide 7.2mbps downlink and 5.8mbps uplink capability.

Apple plans to offer its iPhone 4 to customers in US, France, Germany, Japan and UK on June 24, and provides an opportunity to pre-order iPhone 4 from June 15. Also on June 24, a new iPhone 3GS 8GB model will be available, adding up to the 16GB and 32GB 3GS models stream released last year.

iOS 4 can be downloaded after June 21 and iPhones (3GS models only), iPads, and iPod touches (3rd Generation) can be upgraded via iTunes 9.2 or later. FriendCaller has been successfully tested on the new iOS 4 and updates to the new version of FriendCaller for iOS 4 will be released shortly after the iOS availability via iTunes.

Would you like to cut down the huge phone bills your iPhone or iPad operator sends you every month? Would you like to pay only the monthly base contract price and get rid of all the call charges applicable on your contract every month? We bet anyone would like to do that as soon as possible. The solution is to use the evolutionary Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. With VoIP you can call anyone on the Internet for FREE, and can make cheap calls to any mobile or landline worldwide.

FriendCaller ranks among Top 10 apps in the Social Networking category in app stores around the world. One can download the free app for his/her iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, and can make full use of the VoIP technology. Not to forget, FriendCaller is also available for Android. And the advantage for Android users is that they can use FriendCaller app on Android as a background service. This means that they can use their Android as they like; play games, browse Internet, watch movies, listen songs or use any other application, and side by side FriendCaller runs in the background, converting a normal cellular android phone in to a full featured VoIP phone. One can receive and make calls anytime and won’t have to quit current activity. Whereas, in case of Apple products, like iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, 3rd party application can not run in the background, and one has to quit the current activity to make a call or receive one.

The problem to convert the iPhone, iPad or the iPod touch in to a full featured VoIP phone has now been resolved. With the new release of Apple’s OS 4.0, multitasking is no more a problem now. Now you can make and receive calls on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch anytime, and you won’t have to quit the current application. This new multitasking feature of OS 4.0 makes using the iPhone or iPad so much easy, and finally any one can convert their device in to a full featured VoIP phone for FREE, and forget about the expensive cellular calling plans of their operators.

Soon, you will be able to experience FriendCaller on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch on OS 4.0. Please note that multitasking is only possible via OS 4.0 on iPad (all versions), iPod touch (3rd Generation only), and iPhone (3GS models only). Above you can see screenshots of FriendCaller on the new OS 4.0 running as a background app, and an incoming call notification. Stay tuned, and not long from now, you can enjoy it too
