Top 9 Best Voice/Video Calling apps for Android phones

Most of the apps categories in Google Play Store are overcrowded by thousands of apps vying for attention but there are a few exceptions too. Voice/Video chatting (voice calling over internet) is one such category which has a very limited number of apps. And out of these apps (which have this special function – allowing users to actually “chat”), only a selected few are up to the mark in terms of voice calling quality and hassle-free performance. Voice calling over internet is just like network dependent phone calling, provided you have a reasonably fast internet connection (which most of us have these days). The only catch in these apps is that the app must be installed on both ends (caller and receiver) and both devices must be connected to internet for free calling. Anyway here are the top 9 apps for voice calling (over internet) on an Android phone/tablet –

Skype – is perhaps the most popular app in this category which allows you to make free voice and video calls (Skype to Skype) and cheap international mobile calls (Skype to any number). The best part of Skype is that its a cross platform app available for almost all mobile and desktop OS. You can get Skype free from Google Play

Official Google Voice app – Google Voice for Android is an impressive app with which you can send free text messages and make voice calls all over the world. Download Google Voice free from Play Store

Google Voice

Line – Line is a relatively new entry in this category but in a short time it has become hugely popular especially among youngsters. Line has a feature-set almost similar to WhatsApp and WeChat plus the added advantage of free voice calling. Download Line free from Play Store

Viber – Viber is a popular, cross-platform messenger app allowing users to send free text messages, video messages and to make voice calls. You can get Viber from Google Play

Fring – Besides text chatting, Fring also allows free group voice calling (upto four persons at a time). Download from Google Play

Tango – Tango supports group voice calling (upto 50 persons) and video calling at a time. Get Tango from Google Play
