5 apps to send messages and make free calls on your smartphone

With the popularization of the internet, new ways were created to make calls and send text messages for free by smartphone. However, many malicious people have used this demand to communicate for free on the cell phone as a pretext to spread viruses and other virtual pests, so it is necessary to read a lot about it and be cautious when installing applications.

Having an application that allows you to make phone calls or send messages via cell phone without spending money is advantageous not only in terms of the economy but also for solving problems in emergency situations, as it is very common for people to be prevented from communicating due to the impossibility of putting credits in the cell.

To know the safe and headache-free sources to enjoy the services of making calls and sending SMS without having to pay any costs, see the selection of the most used and considered the most reliable apps:

1 – Whatsapp

Whatsapp is an application available for the BlackBerry, Android, iOS and Symbian platforms that allows you to send messages to another cell phone that also has this software installed, through 3G or Wifi internet at no cost.

This application also features group chat, sending images, videos and sounds. All content sent through the application is linked to the person’s cell phone number, which facilitates identification in communication.

In addition, compatibility with various operating systems prevents communication impediments with friends who have smartphones with management and control programs with completely different functions.

The application can be used without purchase by Blackberry cell phone holders, it is free for one year for Android and Symbian cell phones – after which the license cost is one real and ninety-nine cents per year; and it costs 99 cents for iOS.

2 – HeyWire

HeyWire is an application that works on Android and iOS operating systems that allows you to exchange SMS with cell phones from around the world for free without the need for the other person to also have the Hey Wire application on their cell phone. To use it, just download it for free from Google Play – for smartphones with Andriod, or from the App Store – for the iPhone.

3 – Facebook

The Facebook mobile application for smartphones with iOS and Android system allows free phone calls between users of the social network. To use the service, both people need to have the latest version of the Facebook application installed on their device and be connected to 3G or Wi-Fi. The application can be downloaded for free.

4 – Skype

The Skype app allows making calls to other people who have a Skype account and the app also installed on their smartphone. Installation depends on whether the phone has iOS 4.0 or higher, Android 2.1 onwards and Symbian operating systems. Free applies to calls between Skype accounts, calls to a landline or mobile number are paid.

5 – vibe

The Viber application makes free calls, as long as both people have it installed on their iPhone or Android device. If the person receiving the call does not have Viber installed, the call will be routed to the telephone system and will be charged.

The biggest advantage of this app is that it automatically recognizes registered contacts, so you don’t have to create a list other than the one in your phonebook. Also, it notifies you when someone tried to contact you while the person was offline.

Therefore, given the alternatives presented above, there is no reason to stop communicating with friends and relatives. Run to your smartphone’s virtual store and select the option that best suits you.
