Hi Neil,
Most Voip apps give you access to your contacts including Skype. The app Brian mentioned here in Canada from Rogers is nothing but Roger’s own Voip app. If you don’t want to use Skype or Magic Jack, you can use apps like Bria, Acrobits or Groundwire (both Acrobits and Groundwire are by the same developer) and these apps let you configure just about any SIP based Voip service. I used to use Groundwire, but recently switched to Bria for the simple reason that Bria allows me to use their DialPad to dial phone numbers using touch typing just like in the native phone app. This also works with Skype, but with Groundwire you have to double or split tap each number. Bria is super accessible and gives you easy access to your phone’s contacts, basically you have a Contacts tab at the bottom just as in the native phone app and you see your iPhone contacts, you have the table index and search field and any number you tap after selecting a contact is dialed from the Bria app using whichever Voip provider you set up to use. Here is the link to Bria in the app store, the app costs $7.99: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/bria-iphone-edition/id373968636?mt=8 Regards, Sieghard From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Neal Ewers Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2014 5:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Is there an app in the US for making Wi-Fi calls using your phone contacts? Hi, Thanks for that. The subject included the need to use my phone contacts. I may not have been clear about that, but I was talking about my iPhone contacts.

How about Magic jack? It allows you to make free calls in the US and Canada using wifi. Give it a try.

Hello Brian, he's looking for apps in the US.
