Apps to talk and text for free

*eBuddy Messenger
For free text-based communication, eBuddy allows you to access AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Facebook Chat, GTalk, MySpace, Hyves and ICQ, keeping all of your contacts in one handy list. If all you want to do is be able to message your mates on the fly with push notifications to keep you updated, sound/vibrate alerts and emoticons, this will do the job — but if you want to personalise it with themes, you'll have to spring for the pro version. On the plus side, it uses accounts that you already have, so you have no need to build a new contact list.

For iPhone (Free)
For Android (Free)

*WhatsApp
WhatsApp is a full message replacement app, offering free messages with the capacity to send photos, video or voice messages. It uses your contact list and automatically lists anyone who also has WhatsApp installed, which makes things easier too, and it includes the capacity for group chats. Just a heads-up, the iPhone version carries a one-off charge, whereas the Android version is free only for the first 12 months, after which you'll have to pay a US$1.99 annual fee. Mind you, that still works out a lot cheaper if you're a heavy texter …

For iPhone (AU$1.19)
For Android (Free)

*Viber
This one's still in beta for Android, but you can sign up at the link below. It's completely free, using 3G or Wi-Fi to connect you to other Viber users for free phone calls and text messages anywhere in the world. It also uses your current phone number to identify you, so you don't need a complicated sign-up or sign-in process.

For iPhone (Free)
For Android (Free)

*Talk Out Mobile VoIP
As it says on the box, Talk Out uses VoIP to connect you for free via Wi-Fi or 3G to other Talk Out users. You can also purchase credits via a number of credit cards or PayPal for low-cost calls to non-Talk Out users worldwide via video or just audio.

For iPhone (Free)
For Android (Free)

*IM+
This one's a bit like eBuddy, only with a few different messenger services, and you can customise the free version with wallpapers. You can send photos, videos, voice messages and text messages, or have a group chat — all for free via your GTalk, Yahoo, MSN, AIM, ICQ, MySpace, Twitter, Facebook or Jabber accounts, and a map feature allows you to see exactly where your friends are hanging out. You can, by the way, opt out of that last one.

For iPhone (Free)
For Android (Free)

*Skype
Everyone knows Skype! This is Skype for your phone, with free Skype-to-Skype calls, video calls and text chat. You can also call or text anyone in your contact list using Skype's low-cost call rates.

For iPhone (Free)
For Android (Free)

*Fring
Fring is another Skype clone, with free Fring-to-Fring voice, video and text, and low-cost calls rates to regular phones and so on and so forth. One thing Fring offers that other services don't, though, is four-way video chat between Fring users.

For iPhone (Free)
For Android (Free)

Bear in mind that these services all use either Wi-Fi or 3G, and data charges may still apply.

my Spiritual Purification Through Bro.Joey

Sen. Miriam Santiago defends Bishop from PCSO Controversy

Sen. Miriam Santiago’s declaration that “no constitutional violation” was committed with the disbursement of Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) funds for the purchase of the prelates’ vehicles. “The basic purpose of the grant of public funds is clearly stated on the face of the checks (issued by the PCSO) themselves: ‘purcha se of service vehicles to be used by the diocese in its various community and health programs.’ If there is any benefit to the bishop and the diocese, it is merely incidental,” Santiago said. Santiago blasted parties she said were eager to invoke the Constitution against the bishops when it was the Supreme Court that can decide the constitutionality of the cash grant that allowed the bishops to purchase vehicles. “The COA report said that this action was a violation of the constitutional provision that no public money should be appropriated, directly or indirectly, for the use of any church,” said Santiago, chairperson of the Senate c
