imo

imo - free video calls and chat is an application with which you can chat with your contacts, as well as making video and voice calls totally for free.

Instant messaging and free video and audio calls

Currently we can use a wide range of instant messaging, chat and video call applications that use the VoIP protocol: WhatsApp, LINE, Facebook Messenger, Skype, Viber... It's really hard to choose between one or the other to choose, although there is always one that stands out from the rest. This is the case of imo - free video calls and chat, an application that for quite some time has been a remarkable alternative to communicate with our contacts.

We're talking about an Android application that offers us a communication system that works with the VoIP protocol. This means that not only are we able to send written messages and chat with the people on our contact list, but we can also use our internet connection to make phone calls and video conferences via our 3G, 4G or WiFi connection set up.

But which one is better? Skype or imo?

This question is obvious because Microsoft's communication system has been around for a number of years and this service is almost considered the standard when it comes to video calls. In fact, "Skype" has become a phrase that defines the entire communication system.

Here in imo you can find similar features with the difference that there are no limitations: everything is free. In other words, you don't need to top up any credit to call anywhere in the world. Thanks to the latter, it has become a reference application in countries where it is difficult to call due to prices and faulty communication.

The most important features

These are the main features and functions of this application:

• Make calls and send messages for free by simply connecting to a 3G, 4G or WiFi network.
• Enjoy voice and video calls with excellent sound and picture quality.
• Chat in groups with friends, family or work colleagues.

Although this service was originally born as an Android mobile app, it has also arrived on other platforms such as iPhone and Windows PC where you can download a desktop client. This way we can avoid having to download an APK and run it on an emulator to use the application from our computer's desktop.
