Back in March, we blogged about Apple's announcement that they would allow third-party software developers to create applications that would enable iPhone owners to use the phone's wifi connection to make VoIP calls. Recently, Apple began offering these types of third-party applications through their online App Store. VoIP applications for the iPhone allow users to avoid the high cost of international phone calls. A few of the VoIP applications released so far include Packet8's MobileTalk for iPhone, which uses the cellular voice network instead of wifi, and Truphone Anywhere. JAHJAH's iPhone application and iCall are not available just yet, but should be released within a month or so.
