Has expensive international call rates cut short your urge to connect frequently with your loved ones offshore? Think no further, because AT&T has now launched its own “Voice over IP” application – AT&T Call International App that allows you to make inexpensive international long distance calls from the U.S. with your iPhone to more than 220 countries.
Interestingly, AT&T Call International App comes two years after AT&T voiced support for Skype and others to similarly use its 3G network to originate internet calls.
However, the icing on the cake is that you can avail this service using your existing wireless service; and that too without any monthly recurring charge, prepaid balance or commitment term. Also, the billing can be conveniently directed to your credit card. Besides that, when traveling internationally, iPhone and Android users can place calls over Wi-Fi in most countries.
