Sipgate has just launched the beta version of its new application which will bring VoIP service to the iPhone. Using industry standard SIP, iPhone users will be able to place or receive VoIP calls over WiFi using their iPhones. Additionally, Sipgate’s VoIP service lets users maintain both domestic and international numbers in one place. The application is available for download at Sipgate’s site for free.

Sipgate’s VoIP for iPhone service enables users to save their mobile minutes, provided that WiFi is available, bypass roaming charges and place calls at virtually no cost when travelling abroad. All these can be enjoyed by iPhone users, but only if they purchase a SIP service and WiFi connection from third party providers.

As this application is still in beta stage, we would have to advise you to take precautionary measures when installing the software in your iPhone. Sipgate does not provide any warantee or guaranty that your iPhone won’t break down if something goes wrong. So, if you are not a risk taker when it comes to dealing with your iPhone, you might want to wait for the official release of the Sipgate VoIP for iPhone service. If you can’t wait any longer, however, try installing the application at your own risk.
