Bobsled <<<-this is their link, click it.
Holy frozen igloos... the coolest app has arisen from the cold world of cellular phone carriers and it is FREE phone calling. Bobsled turns one's mobile devise (in our case the iPad) into a phone that can make out going phone calls. Personally, I have been waiting for this app because it is basically Skype without the video and the fees. I think this app is a must have for any mobile devise user for any age infant to elderly.
This app has two sign in options the first is using facebook and the second is using an email address. My student does have a facebook account but, I don't want him contacting those friends using Bobsled. I am ready to unleash my husky props for this app because it allows my student to call close family members that have cell phones or land lines. If nothing else the app is on our devise in case of an emergency especially as back up for our home school. The apps calling capacity requires a WIFI or internet connection.
Any land line or cellphone number can be typed into the key pad or extracted from the iPad's Contacts app touching the people glyph on the upper right of the keypad. As someone who was once opposed to cellphones but, now uses one daily... I myself am super stunned and shocked to be writing an adoring review for a big mobile corporation like T-Mobile. I do not have T-Mobile service except this free iPad app.
The downside is not necessarily bad things because downsides are rapid momentum. Right now, Bobsled seems to require to be logged in every time to work perfectly. Despite the hypnotic sound of ice being cut by Bobsled's blades, this swooshing slushing sound is long (there are about three rings in the iPad before the person's physical phone actually rings). Any downward incline is slippery slide folks because this app doesn't provide any call back number. Now, users can chat message logging into their facebook account but, that feature already exists in the facebook mobile app. Bobsled is a chill app because there are no cellular contracts or bills as long as one has the Web. I'm not sure about the group messaging or contacting other Bobsled users because we don't know any, as of yet.
Any party dialed receiving Bobsled's anonymous calls can block any app users from calling again which is great to prevent abuse. This is a must have app and I really have no complaints only feedback that can be worked out using updates. The only thing that could be even better is calling globally/internationally freely.
aside: I'll try to speed up the photography post it is a lot to discuss and edit. I need another brain and set of eyes.
