Reflap Lets Users Make Video and Phone Calls to Friends Online

— February 16, 2013 — Pop Culture
Video chatting is becoming popular these days. With better internet connection and more bandwidth, people can do great quality video calls without any slowdowns and hit on their cap.

A new startup from Canada has just launched to make video chatting and online communication become more than an alternative to normal phone calls and text messages. The website, called Reflap, allows its users to to make calls to any friend for free even if the person is not a user of Reflap. Like Google+ hangouts, you can start group video chats that anyone can join as well. Reflap has more bells and whistles to it like chatting and calling your facebook friends from the website itself and taking and sharing snapshots on Reflap.

One of the best features of the website is that it doesn’t only concentrate on helping users to call their friends but also make it easier for any of their friend to contact them as well through a call address. A call address is a personal link you set up when you register and like a phone number anyone can call you irrespective of if they are a user or not like normal phone calls work.

Reflap is a great new app that comes in a time where more and more people are starting to video chat.
