The best VoIP app ever!
Review #2 Just installed the latest update yesterday, tested it several times. Works like a charm. This company (with the right marketing & advertising) have the potential to grow to the status of Facebook or Skype in 2 to 3 years. Can't believe those people who rate it less than 4 or 5 stars. Those who don't know how to flip on a light switch, do not judge it unless you thoroughly understand how this technology works. This is a true Internet telephony app (aka voice-over-IP) that turns your iPad or iPod touch to a real phone that can send and receive calls. So you can say that your iPod Touch or iPad is the iPhone but without a contract. Only thing you need to be aware of is that you need to listen to a 20 second advertisement before you place the call. The phone number assigned to you is free, and you get free ad-supported calls. You may deposit a small amount of $1.99 and eliminate the ads. You also need to know that some government agencies cannot receive calls via Internet, so this app will not work in this case. Also you cannot place emergency 911 calls thru any VoIP app. Other than that this app makes your iPad and iPod touch a 98% true phone. Did I mention the call quality is close to being perfect?

Best VOIP for iPhone!
I've used all the VOIP apps for the iPhone, I've search for a long time and Whistle has been the best. I liked Line2 but to pay $15-20 a month is insane, totally ridiculous! If I'm standing still with solid 3G connection I get clear calls but if I'm walking somewhere, on a moving bus, train, car I get very poor quality and it drops the call. I agree the with previous reviewer that it would be great to load the calls quicker and I even get series of very poor service at my home where I have very good connection but all in all I've been able to talk for hours and hours using Whistle and not going over my very poor low voice plan with ATT. I'm sure Whistle will continue to make improvements and I really hope it stays free, to the Whistle team, thank you for such a great app!
