Voice over IP (VoIP) software has long been popular because of how much money it saves. Apps like Skype allow you to make free skype-to-skype calls, and offers very low rates on international calls.

Are they easily available in Singapore? Not really.

A search for "VoIP" in the Blackberry app store doesn't give us much options here in Singapore, however.

You get the option for these products:
BlaCaDa, VoipBusterSMS Cheap, BigTinCan Connect, JahJahCalls, Vopium, Ifbyphone, IM plus Talk, Voydat.

Unfortunately, most of these aren't really viable options for Singapore, with much of the blame being rested on the limited App World for the local market. Even popular programs like iSkoot, which allows users to make calls with their Skype accounts on Blackberry, have no Singapore coverage.

On the other side of the coin, iPhone users can easily use great programs like Skype and Facetime. While there are a lot more available, there isn't really any need for other programs.

Android's also got access to Skype, so you don't have to look far for VoiP access.

Have any tips you want to share about VoiP programs for smartphones in Singapore? How about recommendations? Feel free to share them in our comments section. Your fellow readers will be grateful!
