Thread: Making phone calls using iPod touch

How can I make my iPod touch make phone calls using the Fring application? I can make calls from the iPod touch but it doesn't go through on the other end. I see it dailing and everything and ringing but the number I am calling never rings on the other end.

Because the iTouch is not a phone - you can't use it as a phone!

I have heard of folks using the touch to make calls using wifi and a Skype app. But I think you need a headphone set that has a mic included...

Im in the same boat i have a google voice account and it WAS possible before Gizmo5 got bought up by google. Im wondering if there is another site that works in its place. if so i found instruction here (Can Google Voice ring my iPod Touch? - Google Voice Help). I know its possible. Thanks

Yes You can make phone calls with the iPod touch.
I use Skype and that is working great!
You can find Skype at the AppStore for free.

Is use this microphone for my iPod; iPodMicrophone.eu - Buy your own iPod microphone!

Hello here is my first post and I have a problem with skype and my new iPod touch 3rd gen and IOS 4 I get the error message saying that this app is not supported and then there is the headset not working, has anyone else heard this problem, and then I wanted to reverse 4 to 3.13 and was told I can not do it.

Skype is here working fine with my iPod touch 3G 64GB and iOS 4.
So try to delete the program and shut down your iPod, after restarting install Skype again.
Only the headset from the 3G 32GB and 64GB are working with Skype, but You can also use this microphone; iPodMicrophone.eu - Buy your own iPod microphone!
And You can't reverse to 3 if You have 4.

I've used the Apple "headset" that is made for the I-phone. I also purchased other band headsets (cheaper) that worked. But you do need Skype and an active WiFi connection.

Use skype. Fring is made for iPhone.
