The Line2 VoIP app is the only calling app available for the iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G that can completely replicate the iPhone’s calling functionality, allowing people to set up a truly powerful alternative to regular cell phone service for a fraction of the cost. Peter Sisson, Founder and CEO of Toktumi, said, “I like to use Line2 on my iPad as a speakerphone, especially for conference calls with multiple people in the room. I just set my iPad down on the table in front of me and it’s like I have a high-grade conference phone. The iPad’s powerful built-in speakers and microphone make the iPad combined with Line2 a great tool for group meetings.”

With Line2 you can make calls using AT&T’s 3G network on your iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G. It’s perfect for the professional on the go and the only solution for when you’re out and about with no access to a Wi-Fi network and need to make a call over your iPad. Line2 also offers features like call waiting, conferencing for up to 20 people, call transfer, and advanced business features. You can also synch your Line2 account with your iPad so it detects the best available network (Wi-Fi or 3G) based on customer preferences and places and receives calls over that network automatically. If the iPad is not connected to a 3G or Wi-Fi, calls are automatically forwarded to up to six other phones so that customers can still receive them.

Line2’s VoIP capabilities via Wi-Fi allow international travelers to place and receive calls while overseas without incurring voice or data roaming charges. Using Line2, calls to any number back home in the U.S. or Canada will be free, as will calls to other Line2 users, wherever they are worldwide. Calls to international numbers start at $0.02 per minute, whether calling from home or abroad.

The Line2 service costs just $14.95/month for unlimited US/Canada calling and low international rates, and can be tried free for 30 days before signing up. Combined with the iPad’s breakthrough 3G service that allows you to choose the amount of data per month you want to buy, for as low as $14.99/month with no set contract, iPad owners can now make and receive crystal clear calls over WiFi or 3G at an extremely affordable price.
