The Talkatone Android App from Talkatone LLC is an amazingly useful tool that lets you make free calls and send free text messages over a WiFi or cellular data connection without eating up your minutes! Talkatone lets you contact anyone with a phone number in the United States and Canda for free; they don't even need to know what Talkatone is. It gives you a free phone number when you sign up for the app that they can contact you at, so it works just as well as a paid-up cell phone.

If you need to make an international call Talkatone can help you there too. A small fee does apply to international calls but you can pay for them with Talkatone Credits that you earn by completing offers. Even if you don't have an active cell phone plan you can still send texts and make calls over WiFi with Talkatone.

If you're looking for privacy when you make a call, Talkatone also offers one free "burner" number. You can change your Talkatone number at the touch of a button, so if someone you don't want to talk to you has your number just open up the app and voila! Problem solved. You'll have to pay if you do it a lot but the first time is absolutely free.
