Goober offers partly free iPhone VoIP calls

A new VoIP app for the iPhone offers free calling for the first two minutes of its VoIP calls. The service charges flat rates that start at $6 and the first two minutes of each call are credited back to a user's account after the call.

The Goober VoIP app will have to try hard to differentiate itself from the numerour other VoIP apps that have flooded the iPhone since AT&T and Apple lifted the ban on the use of the 3G network for VoIP. With its release, the company came out swinging against its biggest competitors claiming to have comparable and even lower rates than Skype. The one feature that Skype still has over Goober, though, is its free Skype-to-Skype calls. Goober officials claim that such a feature might be a possibility with a future release.
