VOIP choices...

Just wondering what the choices are for Voip now that Skype is gone. I usually use my computer for Skype but I am in Argentina and forgot the dam thing. So I only have my phone and am trying to make a call. When I try to dial out on fring it says It needs a cellular connection....no can do down here. Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. I need something I can call a phone number on...not something that requires the other party to be logged In...although I will consider those options as well.

TIA!

I am having lots of trouble with VOIP on my EVO. The only application I am having any luck with is 3CXPhone. I am using it with my Gizmo5 number and it seems to work ok over both 3G and WiFi (I don't have 4G to test).

Fring crashes when it attempts to dial out, but calls do seem to come in ok.
SIPDroid works until the screen blanks then the audio becomes unintelligible.

Anyone else having luck with something?
