Viber allows Internet voice calls

Viber is a popular free app that allows callers to use their smartphone’s WiFi or data plan to go beyond the constraints of their limited voice-calling and SMS text messaging plans.

Viber uses voice over the Internet (or VOIP) calling, and is well known for its usability, reading your phone’s settings and contacts to immediately get you going.

Messages on Viber can include photos as well as text, and the voice calls will transfer over from 3G or 4G to WiFi, once a network is detected. Group messaging also is available.
