Few days ago, we talked about the latest version (3.0) of Line2 iPhone app, which brought carrier-grade SMS texting in addition to the existing VoIP functionalities. Today we’re please to say that SMS proved to be a smashing success among Line2 users, as they’ve sent over one million text messages in the first four days after the launch!
As you may’ve heard before, Line2 costs just $9.95/month and includes unlimited US/Canada calling and texting. The application is especially cool if you own the iPod Touch or iPad, as it basically turns the two devices into full fledged phones — all you need is a WiFi network in order for Line2 to work. Alternatively, even the iPhone users can save on calls and texting, especially if they’re not on some expensive unlimited plan…
And that’s about all we have for you at this point. If you have the iPod Touch, this is one of the apps you should definitely consider installing. AppStore link is below.
