The most interesting thing about it is that it offers a relatively better calling than most other apps even on 2G/3G let alone 4G. Price: FreeDownload

And since it runs on everything – iOS, Android, Mac, PC, WP, etc. – it still retains top spot amongst the non-tech-savvy people. Price: Free (In-app Purchases start from $3.49)Download
