Apple iPhone VOIP

Its possible to use the iPhone's or iPod Touch's (iTouch) internet connectivity to make low cost or free VOIP phone calls. The iPhone can make Internet connections either via the cellular data network EDGE plus UMTS for the 3G version or via WiFi, while the iPod Touch can only use WiFi. Using VOIP over the cellular network may violate your cellular provider's terms of service — check your contract first. Below you will find some iPhone VoIP solutions and iPhone/iPod Touch apps.
