Heard my wife using it to speak with a friend and the clarity was excellent. The only things I know about it are 1) There's always messages about it in my junk email folder, and 2) Zuckerberg bought it.

Is the purpose of the app just to avoid racking up minutes on your mobile phone?

That's one of the complaints about it, at least from governments. I think the British Prime Minister or someone over there has called for it to be banned because of the encryption, which terrorists can find helpful (the ol' throw the baby out with the bathwater rationale).

But for personal use, where most people don't need heavy encryption, are there advantages over any other chat/Internet calling app?
