I then tested making inbound calls, but after two successful tests, I kept getting a message from Whistle Phone's servers that said 'I'm sorry, but i cannot complete your call.' After 3 unsuccessful tries I gave up. All my outbound calls went through flawlessly. I made some test calls and the voice quality was excellent - even over a 3G data connection. I tested Whistle Phone on my iPhone and an iPad and it works very well. Too bad it doesn't support dual SIP registrations - one to the Whistle Phone service and one to your other favorite SIP trunk, IP-PBX, etc. I already have my favorite SIP app for the iPhone. Once I chose Whistle account, I could no longer use this app as a SIP softphone. However, since I have access to a SIP-based IP-PBX I also wanted to test te app with that, but I couldn't seem to be able to switch modes. I obviously chose Create a Whistle account since I wanted to use their service. Useful for both business and personal purposes, such as dating, home business, etc.Īfter first installing and launching the app it asked me to create a new Whistler Phone account, using existing, or use my own SIP credentials as seen here: So you could use this app to call people without giving away your main mobile phone number. The other benefit of them assigning you a new number is that your outbound CallerID also uses this number when dialing from the application.

Yes, that's right, Whistle Phone gives you your very own phone number so you can receive calls as well (also free of charge). I should mention that iCall for the iPhone also offers free calls, but in addition to playing a 30s audio ad the iCall's calls are limited to just 5 minutes in length before it disconnects.īut Whistle Phone has one additional free feature that iCall doesn't - a free DID phone number. Whistle Phone can come in handy when you've used up your bucket of cell minutes and don't want to pay the overage rates. Whistle Phone also supports international calling and claim very competitive rates - even better than Skype. I saw some big name advertisers including Walgreens and Google. The app itself also has ads, but they are non-obtrusive as seen by the screenshot. And if you don't like the ads, just put some funds in your Whistle pay-as-you-go balance which will turn off the ads. Not a terrible requirement to get free outbound calls. Well, you have to listen to a ~15s long audio commercial before the call is connected. Whistle Phone is a new VoIP application for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch which offers free calls anywhere in the U.S.
