Reviewed by: Jessica Dolcourt on December 23, 2008

EQO's handsome display proposes three solutions for keeping in touch with international family and friends: calling, texting, and IM. Calls and texts are free between EQO members, which is a sweet sell for users whose pals dot the globe. Initiating outbound communication within EQO to non-EQO members is also affordable, thanks to rates that compete with "VoIP-out" accounts and calling cards.

EQO's phone book, which accepts imports from your cell phone's contacts roster, features a search-as-you-type field and serves as the launchpad for sending calls and mobile-to-mobile texts. The misleading Messaging tab only stores notes sent from EQO buddies. You can reply to messages here, but can't compose them. Always free are instant messages sent through seven major networks (Yahoo, MSN, AOL, etc.), though EQO only surfaces one platform at a time and does not aspire for all-in-one IM supremacy; not yet, anyway.

While EQO users can make domestic calls and text, EQO's rates are ideal for communication abroad; at 10 to 15 cents a text and 2 or 3 cents per minute, it's best to reach co-nationals through your carrier's plan.

Publisher's description

EQO (pronounced echo) is a free, easy to use application for your existing mobile phone that lets you place cheap international calls, text messages and instant messages to anywhere in the world. EQO is remarkably simple to use and does not require a new contract, computer or calling card. It works just like your mobile's phonebook - simply scroll through your contacts and click to call or send a message. EQO works with your existing phone plan (local minutes and a bit of data) to complete cheap calls and messages at some of the lowest rates in the world. Even better, we don't charge anything for calls and texts between two EQO users so you can call global, pay local.
