Android users will soon be able to make use of the NimBbuzz application. Nimbuzz allows cheap calls using VoIP and IP telephony over Wi-Fi or 3G networks. This mobile app is available with the latest version of the Nimbuzz software for the Android OS.
It gives customers the choice of a number of different VoIP providers because Nimbuzz is an open application which is not restricted to a single client.
Nimbuzz even has its own VoIP service called NimbuzzOut. The app is expected to increase VoIP usage as it will give more Android users access to the technology. Nimbuzz also supports instant messaging from Google Talk and Windows Live Messenger.
Quentyn Kennemer of Phandroid wrote: “With NimBuzz for Android the Call quality is clear and I couldn’t find anything to complain about. They use the Jingle XMPP protocol which delivers unrivaled audio clarity for VoIP calls.”
FriendCaller became one of most recomended VoIP client for Android phone. Currently in beta version, FriendCaller offers very good over-the-internet calls and Instant messaging to anyone around the world. A really cool feature is the ability send a link to someone you want to call without that person having to download and install FriendCaller. The sound quality is very good compared to Skype, which at the time it was still available on Android required the use of a headset for a good listening experience.
