Best VOIP Calling Apps you should know!

Cellular calls have become the thing of the past in today’s fast-paced internet world. VoLTE and VoIP call through the internet offer much better quality and other additional features that are not possible through normal cellular networks. The internet also permits video calling with screen sharing and various other functionalities depending on the service. That being said, there are a vast number of services and apps for VoIP calls. Hence, to help you decide, we have compiled a list of best VoIP calling apps.
The below-listed app for VoIP calls have been existing for a long time and most of us might have used it at least once or maybe even use them on a daily basis. These apps not only allow you to make calls but also allow you to text and video call. Lastly, not all of them are free as some of them need a subscription to use additional features.


Skype
Skype is one of the oldest players in the VoIP services since its existence from 2003. It has been associated with video calls for a very long time, even before the rise of smartphones. It offers various functionalities such as chat, voice calls, video calls, SMS, and even calls to landline phones which requires a subscription. All-around, Skype is the best option if you looking to use VoIP calls. Android users can also opt for a lite version of the app if their phones could not run the app efficiently.


Viber Messenger
Viber is yet another VoIP app that is newer than Skype but can still easily compete with it. It is available for various other platforms and offers features such as chat, video calling, public group chats, and even calls to landline phones via subscription. In other words, Viber is a replacement for Skype since both of them have identical functionalities.


Facebook Messenger
If you are a Facebook user, you will be definitely using Messenger since it is the only way to communicate with your friends. Since it is used by most people, there’s nothing we could say that you are not aware of. Apart from chatting, calls, and video calls, Messenger also has games that you can play to compete with your friends. In case your Android smartphone could not handle the standard app, you can opt for Facebook Messenger Lite from the Play Store.


Google Duo
Google Duo is the newest app in our list of best apps for VoIP calling. Although it is new, the app has generated a huge number of the user base in a short period of time since it comes pre-installed on most Android smartphones as part of Google apps suite. It offers high-quality audio and video call support even on a slower internet connection. Unlike other apps in the list, it does not offer chat or any other additional features but it does the job as intended.


Signal Private Messenger 
Signal Private Messenger is all about privacy. If that is your first priority, Signal is a must-have app for chat and voice calls. There is nothing else to say about Signal since it is all about privacy, encryption, and security. The app features a minimal design similar to its features and is completely free to use.


Discord
The last app on our list is quite strange since this one is solely recommended for gamers. There is not a single app out there which is as efficient as Discord. Gamers prefer Discord voice calling over in-game audio which itself says the quality of the service the app offers to its users. It offers only voice calls and chats with additional in-app purchases for customization.
