CallsUnLtd helps you make calls using your home vonage service. The App is particularly useful to people who make lots of international calls. If you have vonage unlimited international calling plan, then this app helps you make use of that service from your iphone. Essentially you can make your international calls from your iphone, whenever, whereever at no additional cost. Please note that you still have to pay for your vonage monthly service and your air minutes.
Vonage unlimited calling plan, when combined with this iphone app makes international calling as easy as domestic calling(No more phone cards, no more expensive per minute billing). Talk all you want from the freedom of your iphone.
CallsUnLtd works only with Vonage phone service for now

Any comments from anyone who has tried it?
There is a Vonage app that already lets you make free calls anywhere in the US over wifi but they charge for international calls.

I have used this app & it works as great. The voice quality is very nice & calls are routed through your vonage home number.

You do not have to switch to wi-fi. I think this app calls your vonage number (through your phone network) & then patches/forwards the call to international number.

I have been making international calls on my iphone without an app. Set up call forwarding or simu ring on your vonage account settings. Go to http://cc.vonage.com on your iphone, login with your vonage id and password and make a call from that website.
I think the app does the same thing, the app is just making use of something which is already existing

This sounds like a great app and a great price. I wonder if Vonage will shut this one down as they have their own app that brings revenue with separate plan.
Also, it would be great if it could some how make the call over wi-fi (when available) so the cell phone minutes are not used up.

Do you have to be in your home network? I mean, if I am in office, can i still use this app to call through my vonage connected at home?
This is a good app.
Also, I am looking for options to call US when traveling international (Europe) using WIFi and Iphone. Any good options out there? I have both vonage at home and a Google voice a/c.

Can you elaborate what exactly you mean 'set up call forwarding or simu ring'? I didn't do any of that, and when I call a number from cc.vonage.com, first my vonage line rings and then the called number. So, do you mean forward the vonage line to iphone?

Do you think there is a way to get other phones to do this? If so ill get Vonage and try this.

well looks like the iphone app logs in to your vonage account and forwards the call with the number that you dial and after the call ends I assume they will disable the call forwarding!
I hope this doesnt upset vonage and take off the call forwarding for folks like me who use it for real forwarding! ;-)

01-26-2010, 07:38 PM
So, this app still needs data plan or wifi right?
And I don't know why the dev didn't have a dialer and only restricts to contacts from address book, especially with the current version needing you to dial 011.. for international dialing I have to go change the numbers in my address book :(
Someone tell me I am wrong, and this doesn't need data plan.. please....

I have been also making international calls from Work, using Call Forward feature on Vonage Portal utilizing my home phone account (this is explained already in earlier posts).
Here are the steps:
1. Login to Vonage account (obviously, you need to be on a computer/device with internet access)
2. Enter international phone number to be called as call forwarding number.
3. Hit 'activate'; You will see confirmation message that call forwarding is active.
4. Dial your home number from ANY phone. This will ring the international number - you will notice the ring tone is different.
5. Cancel call forwarding immediately.
There are couple of other applications that do the same, in principle.

You can't use with Ipod, you need iphone with data plan or wifi
One more issue is there, if we use this application, we are sharing our user id and pwd and tel number to the application, if the apps development comapny wants to see our personal details like address,credit card details, they can see usinging this application, if they wish:confused::confused:

Vonage has served me well in the past but with so many VOIP services launching I stopped using it, there are far better alternatives. I've used Jajah and Skype which were both cheaper than Vonage. One service that looks great is CallArc. They are promising Free International Calls from the comfort of your own mobile phone.
I signed up for their Beta Launch, hopefully i'll be invited to try the service out. If you're interested in trying it out as well check out:

I downloaded for iPod Touch even though it said does not work. I'm able to enter and verify credentials and settings worked fine. But when I try to call it says calling and then call gets ended. My remote phone did not ring.
I have used Vonage/Skype app on iTouch seamlessly. Not sure why this app can't be supported on iTouch when it uses PS network.

http://www.callarc.com finally released calling plans. Decent deals.
Unlimited calls to over 40 countries. One of the cheapest rates available on the net for high rates destinations. Pretty good deal. Quality i great too. They are lacking iphone app. Would be good to have iphone apps.
