There are many applications that are available for the smartphone that allow users to communicate seamlessly much like a phone and it does not depend on where they are on earth as long as their service carrier has fast enough data speeds. Telco companies are now investing heavily on the carrier space as they see strong growth due to the strong demand for smartphone. Already companies are offering high speed 4G networks with speeds between 2-40 Mbps. Be sure to check with your carrier first before attempting to make calls using your smartphone as they may charge you for over data usage. Here are a list of few other apps that are growing in popularity.

WhatsApp

This is a messaging app. that allows any smartphone user to send instant messages similar to the instant messages you have now. The advantage is that the messaging is seamless and extends the functionality of the SMS messaging provided by the Telco carrier. When two people have this app installed on their smartphones, they will have a seamless way of communicating via SMS irrespective of where they are on the planet.

Viber

Another popular service that has won many friends is an app called Viber. This app has the ability to make free calls too and is available for all the platforms such as IOS, Android and now the Windows Phone.

As you can see there are many ways for online daters to communicate with their partner once they have found them online. It does not matter where you are on the planet, providing if you are savvy enough to have a smartphone and few of these great communication tools then you can probably talk from sunset till dawn without any issues. For those that still do not have smartphones there is also the option of pre-paid phone cards. These offer exceptionally cheap call rates to rest of the world but the disadvantage is that you will need to make a pre-arrangement with your date that you will be calling them at a specific time. The smartphone apps are always open to you and providing your date on the other end does not have his/her phone turned off and internet connection always remains on then you can both talk freely whenever and wherever.
