FriendCaller /ˈfreɪndkaʊəlr/ is a video and voice over Internet protocol developed by C2Call GmbH based in Werl, Germany.[1] Its Voice-Over-Internet technology was created by Michael Knecht and Martin Feuerhahn.[2] The first prototype was developed by Actai Networks GmbH in 2007; the technology was then transferred to C2Call GmbH[3] in 2008.[4] Later on, FriendCaller was launched in 2009[5] as a website and as an iOS app.[6] FriendCaller allows users to communicate peer-to-peer or in groups via video chat, voice over IP, instant messaging, SMS, or phone calls.[7]
Calls can be made to other FriendCaller users, and SMS messages can be sent to phone numbers and mobile numbers within the PSTN network. FriendCaller operates in desktop browsers without prerequisite software installation[8] and works cross-platform.[9] The browser-based capabilities are Java-based[10] and are hosted on Amazon's cloud.[11]
