I use Talkatone app, select a number they give and make free calls to the US or Canada through wifi. Call quality is pretty good.
The app and calling are free. it even gives you voice mail. the only thing is you need to keep the number active by using the phone number regularly otherwise it makes you change the number by cancelling the account. that way you start over again with a fresh number. Tests are also free in this app to send and to recieve.

I have actually used it to make a call through wifi from paris airport to my husbands cell in canada. and it worked

Hope this helps

Hi @SuiDhaaga
You haven't mentioned why you are looking for phone calls over ipad. Isn't it move incovenient as compared to the handheld cord or cordless phone.

If you are looking for some cost effective way, then, I can suggest the below.

Like @Laks09 I also used Vonage for a long period of time. Its reliable and was cheap at the time. Was around 30 to 40 dollars which included India calls. Then I realized that I was not making enough calls to justify the price.

Then I have switched to a combination of Ooma and Google Voice.

Ooma is a VOIP solution ( there are other similar products ), which you have to buy the device one time ( will cost 30 to 40 dollars ). After that there are no more charges. You can connect your cordless to ooma and use it like a landline ( like vonage ). All domestic calls are free. International calls go through Google Voice. ( Rates are the cheapest from what I have seen: Lot of European countries, India, etc are 1 cents a minute )

Google voice app integrates nicely with your mobile device and can be used from ipad or from browser.

Good luck.
