With Internet-enabled phones, it has become easier to stay in touch with people at all times. With plenty of apps that offer text, audio or video-based options to stay connected, it can be difficult to pick ones that stand out from the crowd. 
Here is a list of some popular free calling applications in no particular order:

Skype was perhaps the pioneer in this space and continues to be used by a large number of people. The app lets you do text, voice and video chats. It also enables users to do group calls and call landlines and mobile phones at a cost.

This app also comes with a 'Shake' feature to help you find new friends. To use this feature, all you have to do is shake your phone and the app will help you connect with other people, who are shaking their mobile at that time.

3) WhatsApp

WhatsApp is perhaps the most well know application in the list, outside of Skype, and has become the proffered alternate to SMS for millions across the globe.


4) Hike
Hike is a desi app that offers a feature-set very similar to WhatsApp, though it offers additional features like sending SMS to non-Hike users, walkie-talkie mode and more.

Line is another popular app that offers features similar to those in the list, including voice chat, stickers, and more.

iPhone 5C sales begin for Apple and allies

Apple and its business partners began taking orders on Friday for its iphone5 c, the lower-end of two smartphone mode introduced earlier this week, but not without some hiccups
Preorders were set tobegin at 12:01 on Friday, but Apple's online stores weren't usable until 12:12 a.m. Customers might have had better luck with T-Mobile in Germany and O2 in the United Kingdom, which began presales just after midnight PT.
In the United States, the online stores of AT&T and T-Mobile were taking orders, too, thoughSPrint and Verizon Wireless still showed only information pages at 12:20 a.m., but by 12:56 a.m., they both had begun selling the new iPhones, too.
With five colors to choose from, as well as 16GB and 32GB models, inventory management becomes more complex in the iPhone 5C era. Sprint said it would ship iPhone 5C models within two weeks -- except for yellow ones, which would ship within three weeks.


iPhone 5c up for pre-orders in nine countries including US, UK and China

iPhone 5c is now up for pre-orders in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore and China. It's worth pointing out that it's the first time that China is in the first batch of countries getting the iPhone.


iphone 5c is also available for pre-order on websites of carriers that have tied-up with Apple in the above mentioned countries. It's also the first time that the iPhone will be available through Japanese carrier NTTDocomo.


The iPhone 5c is available in five colours including White, Red, Yellow, Blue and Green, and in two storage variants, 16GB and 32GB. While the 16GB version of the carrier-unlocked iPhone is priced at $549 (approx. Rs. 35,000) the 32GB variant costs $649 (approx. Rs. 41,386).



iPhone 5c goes up for pre-order! See the prices here

Pre-orders have now opened up for the iPhone 5c, which you can grab from either Apple’s own online 

store or from your favorite phone network.

 Plans  include both 3G and 4G, as you’ll be able to upgrade to the network’s faster speeds for free when they arrive.

can-eat data, 1000 any network minutes and 5000 texts for £39 each month for 24 months,
