After C2Call in recent weeks by the financing round of $ 2 million from well-known US investors and the crossing of the 1 million user mark could generate worldwide buzz, now a local newspaper reported on our company.

C2Call CTO Michael Knecht was interviewed and was able to closely examine the company’s philosophy. Thus, one of the main objectives of FriendCaller, not technical-affine users to enter the Voice over IP technology easy as possible, although VoIP, in addition to very cheap fares, especially abroad, has many other advantages, the market until now is still very small.

The headline of the article

A quote from the article: “Whether, we in a few years all use this technology, Michael Knecht believes open: ‘This also depends on the network operators’.” The behaviour of the net operators is really a hot topic , but we hope to continue the VoIP freedom.
Especially our iPhone and Android Apps be acknowledged.
So many thanks to the Westfalenpost for this article, with which many people are reached, which have not yet heard of us.

No Chance for illegal apps – Google introduces Androids new “licensing service”

Published on July 29, 2010 by Andre in Android, Android app, Features, General, Technology News and Tips and Tricks. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , .

Thats how it works!

Google announced that there will be a licensing service for applications in the Android Market Place to shield that Apps can be copied and spread without charges.  That way Google reacts on the sustained criticism of many developers that it is to easy for users to exchange apps illegally.

In the future the licensing service will synchronize the data with the Google server to detect if users are legitimized to use the software. If the opposite is true the app will withdraw the service.

So you can be glad that the FriendCaller App, which enables you free international calls, is for free!

cut down phone billsWould 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 VoIP app running in backgroundFriendCaller 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.

3g voip freedomSkype’s anouncement of charging for calls over 3G soon arises the question: Who is figthting VoIP freedom now? We at FriendCaller have long lobbied for VoIP over 3G and Apple Inc. finally made it possible. No doupt that this required some arm twisting since the operators have been notoriously stubborn to give their customer anything for free but instead likes to tie them with a million or so additional chargable options.

So, for a long time Skype was with us and other iPhone developers lobbying for VoIP freedom. Therefore, this announcement comes at a surprise and is a seriuos set-back for VoIP freedom, considering the size and market position of Skype.

Apple Inc. opened up for 3G VoIP a couple of months back, and the feature was well received with iPhone app developers and many end users.

FriendCaller facilitates free VoIP calls over WiFi and 3G and the FriendCaller apps allow as well to call out to phone and mobile phone numbers around the globe at prices far below the operators are charging.

So well, here we stand out. We are proud to offer VoIP over 3G and WiFi calls on the mobile datat network for free, since a long time now. No subscriptions, no deadlines, and no other confusing strings attached.

Who is fighting for VoIP freedon now? One less but many other stay strong. Does it matter? Yes, we can see that ever since Skype has announced that it will charge, we have seen more users signing up with FriendCaller than ever, pushing us into the TOP10 social networing app list in Germany and even more of our users are willingly paying to use the FriendCaller to call out phone numbers making us 2nd amoung Top Grossing social networking app in the US. So free and freedom are the way to go for iPhone developers and their customers.

top grossing social net iphone app storeSocial networking on Apple’s products like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch has become remarkably noticeable in the last few months. More and more users are downloading apps to stay connected with their family and friends while on the go. Since with the recent integration of FriendCaller on facebook and the launch of free FriendCaller app for the new iPad, we have experienced a remarkable increase in the number of users. We are trying our level best to keep the current users happy and would like to see more social networking people to try our free FriendCaller VoIP app.

Normally, a top grossing app is paid. We thank our users to bring our free app among top 10 grossing apps which are in fact all paid. Apple’s way of supporting their honest developers is whats bringing more and more developers to offer quality apps for free on the app store.

Free GPS app, Navigon, ranks No. 1 in Germany app store

Like for example, recently we blogged about how one can save a lot of money when looking for a GPS navigation solution while abroad for a longer stay. Things have now changed. When in Germany, instead of buying a reasonably priced navigation system, one can get a free app  from the app store, named Navigon Select. You will be surprised to know that this app also ranks like us on top 10 grossing apps (in Germany’s Apple app store), since Navigon sells additional maps and features to complement the free version and users love it.

Apple hits the One Million iPad count

One Million iPad sales“One million iPads in 28 days—that’s less than half of the 74 days it took to achieve this milestone with iPhone,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Demand continues to exceed supply and we’re working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more customers.”

iPad users have already downloaded over 12 million apps from the App store. Developers have created over 5,000 exciting new apps just for the iPad alone. The iPad also supports the 200,000 apps already available on App Store.

Due to the large screen, extreme graphics, and multi-touch interface, the price of the apps for iPad has been recorded to be higher than the price of the same apps on iPhone or iPod Touch, but still many developers try to keep a strong customer relationship and welcomes new iPad customers, by keeping their app prices reasonable or same as that available on iPhone or iPod Touch.

FriendCaller has proved itself as a strong step towards mobile VoIP freedom, and its VoIP app for iPad remains free of cost to download from the App Store, enabling iPad users to make free calls over the FriendCaller network and cheap long distance calls abroad.
