on what is the call rates like.

young man, I checked the app, found that the site its not active.

How much does it cost to dial Nigerian numbers.
what is the calling rates good the various countries.
and why does one have to play for a virtual account.

@OP,

you missed out Gtalk...the messenger app for Google gmail. i don't know too many people who don't have gmail account these days besides if you want to enjoy your android phone, gmail is a must and it comes with Gtalk. with the google muscle behind it, it is challenging SKYPE in terms of capability and its major limitation is you need a gmail account whereas skype lets you bring any email address you already have from anywhere

that said, i really don't think people should waste their time with all the other wannabe apps in this category..SKYPE is at a level most of them can only dream of. Skype is totally platform independent , whether you're at home on your PC, laptop, tablet or you're on the go with your mobile phone (except BB), you can stay in touch via IM if your bandwidth cannot support voice and video

I thought it was not active in Nigeria yet. g talk

The fact that like whatsapp Viber syncs with your Phone contacts makes me rate it above skype. I hate unnecessary registration and having to ask friends for usernames.

Thanks for the list

Viber and Skype are still the best. Now Viber can be installed on PC too How to install Viber on your laptop. Especially for those that are in the office with system, Not only can you do Viber on Android, Blackberry and iPhone, but also on laptops too. http://phonegist..com/2013/06/how-to-install-viber-on-windows-and.html
