So it's been quite a while since I've been blogging about what I find interesting in the tech world.  Definitely been keeping busy with my studies and working on a iOS application! But let's get back to what that picture is above!

Line2, a VoIP based telephone number that allows your smart phone to carry 2 phone numbers in a single device.  But so what?  Skype, Fring, and other applications can do that too - or can they?  With Line2, you can utilize three different networks to help you make calls where ever you are!  This application accomplishes this by using your cellular network, 3G/4G network, and WiFi.  Unlike other applications, you are restricted to only WiFi.  So imagine that you're stuck in 3 stories below ground and you need to make a call.  As long as you have WiFi, you can dial out to any number in the US or Canada for free!  This is especially important for those who go home and have bad reception with their current carrier.  As most people now have WiFi at home, missing a call is going to be a thing of the past - ahem iPhone users on AT&T.  Going on vacation or going on a business trip outside of the United States?  If your phone has access to WiFi at the hotel you're staying at or you happen to find a starbucks nearby with WiFi, you can make calls back home without the international costs.  Not much of a caller? Well, texting is also included with your Line2 number.  

Pretty cool, huh?  This is all included in a $9.95 /month plan.  That means you can lower your texting and minute plans to it's minimum in exchange for a $9.95 service to give your self unlimited calls and texts.  Do the math, you'll end up keeping more money in your pocket.  

What's also cool is that you can install this application on your iPod Touch, iPad, and other Android tablets and turn those devices into working telephones.  Technology is definitely finding new ways to connect the world.  

So why am I talking about this other than this is a cost saving and innovative application?  I'm currently employed here.    Drop me an e-mail or visit us at www.line2.com if you have any questions!
