Bolt - free calling made simple for Android

Possibly the latest hot topic in the discussion on free VoIP apps.
What makes Bolt different from other VoIP apps like Viber and Skype - you never have to use the Bolt app. Never? Really? Then how do you use it?

Bolt does it by replacing your phone's standard dialler app (or what some of you may call the "call app").

Install Bolt and instantly use it to make ALL of your calls. It's free if you call another Bolt user; it will not use up your cellular/data plan's minutes because Bolt automatically knows that you're calling another Bolt user. If you call a non-Bolt user, the app will then use your standard telco service provider and use minutes from your plan. It's brilliant, I tell you.

Bolt-to-Bolt calls are free and they promise better voice quality than your regular voice calls without using a lot of data. I don't know how it's done but I'm a happy user. The average Bolt call apparently only uses about 60kb of data per minute.

The app has three main tabs - favourites, call log and dialler. Other Bolt users will have a special icon so you can easily see who you can call for free.

Currently Bolt is only available for Android phones but they are working to make it available to iOS devices soon.

I love that Bolt is different in terms of design, strategy and how they seamlessly incorporate their app into my phone's existing app. I hope there will be more apps like this - good competition is healthy!
