Facetime for Android | Facetime Alternative for Android

Its the year of smartphones and almost all have access to internet on mobile. And the most popular thing which we all do on smartphones is video calling. If you have iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or any Apple device and still not tried Facetime for video calls then its time to do so. Facetime works really great with amazing video call clarity. I am a regular user of Facetime on my iPad and have been its Fan from day 1. The easy to use user interface coupled with excellent quality makes Facetime number #1 video calling app (atleast for me).

But what about our Android users. The number of android users is probably lot more than iPhone users, simple reason is that Android is an open source and so many mobile companies are using this operating system. Infact large number of our blog readers are using Android mobile phones. So what about making video calls on Android mobile. Though there are many video calling apps for android as well (like Tango), which people do use. But the question is what about Facetime for Android.

Apple was earlier planning to make Facetime available for all the operating systems (including windows mobile and android), however till date we do not have any official Facetime application for android mobiles. It would have been great if Apple would have launched it officially for android users, this way we would have been able to seamlessly make video calls between iPhone to Android and vice versa.

Now since, we do not have Facetime client for Android, this does not mean that we do not make video calls between Android and iOS Device. So, the question now is "Do we have any Facetime alternatives for Android Mobiles".

Obvious answer to this question is "Yes".


Facetime Alternatives


Facetime Alternatives for Android Mobiles


ooVoo : I would say it is one of the best video calling application in terms of quality. Highly recommended for video calling on android devices, it works great!

Skype App for Android Mobiles : I use this all the time for video calling with my friends and family. It the oldest and biggest voip service and most people use this.

Tango on Android : As I said earlier in the post, it is one of the best apps for android phones.

Fring : Amazingly they also have a video calling solution and it also works on android.

Vtok for Android: Also popular as google talk atlernative (vtok for gtok/gtalk) and it make use of your gmail login for voice and video chat. One of very good app for android.


These are just few, the list of facetime alternatives is pretty long (Rebtel, Ficall etc..). Almost all the video calling apps for Android Mobiles can be considered as another option apart from Facetime!

Google Own Video Calling Solution for Android Users

What about a video calling solution from Google itself. Last year, Google announced an updated version of Google Talk that will bring voice and video chat to Android phones, starting with the Nexus S. With the 4G technology and high end phones (quad core/dual core processors), it will be easy to support the Google Video Calling (Gtalk Video) on android mobiles. The quality is also expected to be good. 

It is expected that the new version of Gtalk for android mobiles will allow users to voice or video chat with Google Talk users on Android tablets, as well as on computers using Google Talk with Gmail, over 3G, 4G, and Wi-Fi connections. Please note that Facetime works with Wifi and not 3G.

As you can see in the video below, this Google Talk video chat feature seems better than Facetime in many ways (who know Apple may launch upgraded version of Facetime soon). So, Google Talk will also overlay text sent via instant messaging on top of your video chat screen, so you can conceivably follow links sent during chat.

I am a fan of video calling and prefer it over voice calls or text messages. I believe the video calling technology has not really kicked off, may be because not any cheap mobiles phones are available having video calling feature, technology is still progressing (not many video calling apps for 3G).

Check the video below about Google Talk Video Calling!

 

Is anyone aware about this official video calling feature of Gtalk for Android. Is anyone using it ?

MyWebCalls SIP Settings | MyWebCalls SIP Calls

Few days back we posted about MyWebcalls and how you can make cheap calls using Mywebcalls. Well the calling rates offered by MyWebCalls are really very cheap like calls to India at just 0.9 cents per minute.

We also discussed that you can make PC to Phone Calls using Mywebcalls, however more people now prefer Phone to Phone Calls. You can use MyWebCalls SIP Settings to make mobile calls.

Making SIP calls is another very useful way to make phone calls. Mywebcalls supports the SIP protocol, so most SIP devices will work with Mywebcalls.

Mywebcalls no longer support H323 devices. The settings for most SIP devices will include these 3 common fields:

Username - this will be your Mywebcalls username.
Password - enter your Mywebcalls password
SIP proxy - enter enter sip.mywebcalls.com

Your device (mobile) will automatically be enabled to make voip calls using Mywebcalls (SIP Calls). I would suggest to try Fring or Nimbuzz.

As with any other international call, you need to dial 00 (or 011 in some countries) before international numbers. For example, to call a number in London, UK, you would dial 00442072346710.

You can also make calls to other Mywebcalls, which are are free. Simply dial 699, then their Mywebcalls ID. For example if their user ID is 123456, you would dial 699123456.

Download Rebtel PC App on your Laptop : Pc to Mobile Calls

We at FreePctoPhoneCalls Blog essentially started out by informing our readers new ways to make Pc to Phone Calls. At that time, smartphones were not very popular and most people used internet only on their computer. Now things have changed with more people using internet on their mobile. Voip apps on smartphones are very popular now. However that said, some people still prefer (and fine it more easy) softphones for calling mobiles directly from their PC. Today we will be discussing about Rebtel's PC Application which will allow you to use Rebtel from anywhere in the world.

Rebtel is not only the world's second largest voip provider, it is the most famous voip service among our blog readers. A lot of people from USA/Canada/Europe already use this service for all their international calls. People from India/Pakistan/Middle East found it difficult to use their service as it didn't offer local numbers in these countries. If you have a smartphone, good enough you can use apps on your mobile phone. But what about the people living in India, without Smartphones and looking for way to make cheap international calls.

With the launch of PC application, people from anywhere in the world can use Rebtel service. Yes you heard it right, you can use it from India, Pakistan, UAE or any other country in the world (as long your laptop is connected to internet).


Download Rebtel Computer Application

- Register with Rebtel Voip Service
- Download the Softphone to your PC or laptop
- Login to your account
- Making calls is so simple. Either add contacts or call them or simply make use of dial pad and call them.

Rebtel PC App Features

The Rebtel PC app is just like a phone on your compute.
- Make Free Calls : You can call other Rebtel users for free. You can use Rebtel on your Pc and your friend may be using Rebtel on his iPhone, you both can talk for free. Rebtel's new desktop app for PC allows you to make free calls to Rebtel friends that use PC, iPhone, Android or BlackBerry app
- Super Cheap International calls to any mobile or landline phone.
- Highly cheap international sms just like a regular phone.
- Filter your contacts : You can also filter your contacts by “Show all”, “All I can call” or “All I can call for free”. All calls are now shown in the recent call list, not just your last call per contact. The call is displayed: “Free” if it was a free call, or the rate of the call if it was a cheap call.
- Old method of using Rebtel on your computer is still valid.
- Making Calls from PC app is cheaper and more convenient.

Here is a video showing the Rebtel app for PC.


After the launch of its computer application, I would say Rebtel has taken a big step and now everyone should atleast try them. With the availability of so many different voucher codes, you can effective make international calls at less than one cent per min (that like under Rs 1 per minute). 
 

Unlimited Calls Monthly Package for Philippines Landlines

Philippines is one of the most called countries in the world. So many people have asked about cheap calling solutions for Philippines. Calling rates are very high for this country as most telecom provider are charging way to high for international calls. Using voip services to make calls to Philippines is the only solution. However the voip providers also charge high. Whatever free calls offers we have got for Philippines are limited to short duration.

What people actually want is either cheap pay as you go option (which cost them max 5 cents per minute) or they want any unlimited plan (monthly calling plans). We asked many people about their requirements (people who are living in USA and are making calls to Philippines). What we found was pretty interesting, that you guys generally call few particular phone (and not just too many).

This is because you generally make calls to either a friend or family in Philippines and these are limited in number. So the hunt goes for a monthly unlimited package for calling one/two particular Philippine mobile or landline. Though Air4 offers such unlimited plans (which are infact great), but they are capped with 20 minutes duration for each call (and max number of calls). Plus they have temporarily suspended the signups.

To our surprise, Localphone offers such exclusive packages. That is, "Unlimited Calls to One Philippine Landline".

Localphone recently launched this new product where customers can make unlimited calls to a friend in the Philippines for £24.99 / $39.99 a month. The package applies to one PLDT landline and customers will pay £24.99 a month plus a one off activation fee of £24.99.

Call Philippine


High quality calls connected through PLDT, the leading telecommunications provider in the Philippines. You can call PLDT landline and Landline Plus numbers. Tell your friends and family to get a Landline Plus number to make their landline portable. Good thing about this offer is no daily limits (make as many calls as you like and talk for as long as you like).

Benefits of Localphone Philippines Unlimited Plan:
  • No replacement SIM or adapters needed
  • Call from your phone or computer (as long as you have internet wifi or 3G)
  • No daily call limits
  • Get connected straight through
  • New customers get a 5 minute free call to try before they pay

How to make unlimited calls using Localphone :

  • Call from your computer
  • Call from your VoIP device
  • No daily call limits
  • Call from anywhere in the World using your WiFi or 3G connection so you can call no matter where you are in the World.
Please note that if you frequently call a friend or relative who has a PLDT landline this plan is perfect for you. There's no contract so you can cancel the plan at any point by contacting us. If you have already made a monthly payment you will still be able to make unlimited calls until the end of the month.

As the plan is a bit costly just make sure you are clear about everything you need to know. Once you have made up your mind, just go ahead with the monthly calling packages. If you have any questions, shoot them to us in the comment section.

Facetime for PC | Download Facetime App for Windows and Mac

If you are having an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad then I am sure you are enjoying the free video calling feature, that is the ultra cool app Facetime. I have been using it on my iPad and in my opinion its one of the best software in terms of quality for making video calls. I would certainly rate it higher than Skype and ooVoo in terms of call quality. It even gets better if you use the primary back camera.

The only disadvantage with Facetime is that very less of my friends and family have an iOS device (iPod/iPad/iPhone) and thus I am not able to use this app much. In order to video chat with, I have to rely on other apps which are accessible to them. It would have been great if somehow my friends were also able download Facetime on PC and then we can video chat for free! The question is "Can anyone use Facetime on computer" ?


facetime for pc

Facetime for Mac

Well FaceTime client for the Mac OS is available for download absolutely free of cost, thus allowing users to make video calls between any iOS devices or Macs running FaceTime. So, if you are having a Macbook then also you can use Facetime on Macintosh laptop.  You can easily download Facetime on your Mac from "Mac store" and directly start making video calls. Here is a video presentation by steve jobs about the Facetime client for MAC PCs.


But what about most of people who have windows (On your PC which can be Laptops/Desktop). What's with Facetime for Windows (Facetime for PC).

Facetime for PC | Facetime for Windows

As of today, there is no official way to use Facetime on Windows PC, that's bad news for windows users. Apple has this tendency to encapsulate every cool app and provide it to only Apple user's. No official Apple Facetime app is available for windows. In the past, Apple has discussed about making Facetime an open software and then it will work for windows as well. However till date this has not been the case. So for the time being, there's no way for someone using Windows to make a FaceTime call to someone using, for instance, an iOS device via the Facetime app. We have discussed in the past about how you can install the android based apps on your PC using the android emulator for PC.

So, one conceptual way of getting facetime up and running on windows would be to install iOS based emulator on your windows laptop and then use Facetime client on it. I have digged a bit into this, though I found some tutorials and article on getting iOS emulator on PC, but most of them are quite complex and they failed to run Facetime client. In other words, I have still not found a working iOS emulator for windows which can run Facetime client.

Is that all, No Facetime for PC. Well, what we currently have is Facetime alternative for PC and Windows.

Facetime Alternatives for PC | Facetime Alternatives for Windows

The second best software which I feel for making video calls between PC and iPhone/iPad is OoVoo. But lets look at other options as well :

1. Skype : Its a very well known, and widely used voip application. Skype works on Mac OS X, iOS, Windows, Android, Linux, and many other platforms. Skype has been popular for so long, its one application which everyone joins when trying voip!

2. Oovoo : It is also very good application, slowly and steadily getting more and more customers. It is also very widely used for video calls and video conference calls. Apart from normal video calling (quality is also good), it has features like Free Group Video Calling (which is just awesome, video chat with multiple people at same time). I just love this cool application! It works great on PC, iPhone, Android, iPad!

3. Yahoo Messenger : Yahoo application, works great on iPad/iPhone and PC users. I am sure many of you already might have used this app.

4. Tango : Tango offer video calling facility on smartphones like Android, iPhone, and on PC. People can use Tango on their Pc to make video call to your friend using Tango on his mobile. Call quality is average.

5. Qik : Another video calling application for PC, and smartphones. It can also be used for making PC to Mobile Video Calls.

6. Voxox : Its again one of the best video calling application. It works pretty good for PC. One of good Facetime alternatives for PC. It offers Free Video Conferencing on PC.

7. Tango : This app has created a lot of buzz in the market from the time it was released. Its a multi platform application having apps for almost all platforms (Blackberry is the only pending item in their list). Its one of the best Facetime Alternatives!

The list of Facetime for PC alternatives is quite large, so many video calling applications are in the market. I have not listed every option, but if you want any particular video call provider then please post it in the comments. We will include that in this list!

Also, we will be keeping an eye on "Facetime PC Client for Windows Computer" official launch, so stay tuned for updates on it!

Living in middle east and paying high for your international calling needs, then we have some answer for you. Many voip providers are banned in middle east : UAE, Dubai etc, however we have found some solution for you : Spokn Collect Calls are supposed to work even in middle east.

Firstly in order to use this service, you need to register with Spokn and buy some credit. Now lets see what is this Spokn collect calls and how does this work.

Spokn Collect Calls

When you call your favourite contacts, Spokn displays a unique USA phone number as your caller ID. Whenever they want to call you back, they just give a missed call to this USA phone number and Spokn automatically calls them back and connects them to you.

Lets explain this in detail : You live in Dubai and you have your family in India.
1. Register with Spokn and enable Collect call feature.
2. You provide up to 5 phone numbers of your family members in India. Spokn allocates a USA phone number for each of these contacts.
3. When you call these contacts using Spokn, they see a call from a USA (+1 country code) phone number. You ask them to save this number. Each of your 5 contacts will see a different USA phone number, so they will each need to save it separately.
4. Now you ask your family in India to call this USA number they just saved.
5. Spokn sees a call coming from your contact’s phone number and disconnects the call immediately without answering it. Your contact is NOT CHARGED by their operator for this international call.
6. Spokn then initiates a call to your contact’s phone number and once the call is answered, initiates another call to your Spokn ID, which rings on your Spokn dialer / device. Please note that you can use Spokn dialer on your PC, or your mobile phone.
7. You can simple answer the call and talk for as long as you like. You will be charged for a call to your contact’s phone number.

This Spokn Collect call feature currently works for all middle east countries such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain.
