Web/Android/iOS: T-Mobile's free VoIP app Bobsled debuted back in April as a way to make free calls via Facebook Chat, but now that Skype is offering that functionality, Bobsled has expanded to offer free calling to US, Canada, and Puerto Rico from a web browser.

Similar to other VoIP apps, all you need is an Internet connection to make calls to mobile or landline phones through your desktop browser, after installing the plugin. Facebook friend calling and voicemail pinning to your friends' walls are still features included.

It looks like the mobile apps, however, currently only support dialing your Facebook contacts, although you can make Bobsled to Bobsled calls with other Android or iOS users.

The service seems particularly useful if you're traveling and only have a Wi-Fi connection on your laptop (and also because Google Voice's free calling through Gmail may be free only until the end of 2011).
