I'm looking for free VOIP options for Android phones.
Google Hangouts has free video calls but it seems that the ring time usually isn't as long as the time taken to establish a connection so the caller often has it ring out before the recipient is notified of a call attempt.
Skype seems to demand a Hotmail/Microsoft account before it can be used.

Pennytel says that they aren't currently accepting new signups. When they do they apparently allow free calls to other users of the same service.

VoipBuster also apparently allows free calls to other users.
My aim is to have free calls to relatives who have Android phones. Many of my relatives are using Aldi with the $15 for 2G plan, so they pay for calls but 2G of data is way more than most of them will use in a month - essentially the marginal cost of data is zero.
How difficult is it to install Asterisk nowadays? Also how much bandwidth is required for two Asterisk clients talking to each other?
if you want a free somewhat secure option (as secure as u will get using android installed from play) id recommend red phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.thoughtcrime.redphone&hl=e... when a contact has re phone installed it switches to end to end encrypted voip if they dont have the app reverts to the normal dialer.
