There’s just something about saving those relatively expensive wireless minutes by using VoIP calling technology to reach out and touch someone. VoIP solutions have already allowed iPhone users to get jiggy with internet-based telephone calls, but the latest iPhone VoIP application to hit the iPhone brings with it the ability to hand-off calls between WiFi (VoIP) and GSM networks.

With iCall there’s no need to manually switch over from WiFi-based VoIP calls to start using the GSM network, or vice versa. The iCall application does all the call switching for you on the fly and automatically – it really doesn’t get any better in the VoIP world.

Now, iCall is still in development and we’re not sure when mere mortals like us can get our hands on an application like this. But, rest assured, when it launches, iPhone-using VoIP-ers will be able to get their VoIP-on with ease.

Check out the video demonstration below.
