Needs work
I installed this to be able to send and receive SMS messages. This app will only send - Callcentric confirmed there is a problem with the app and it can’t receive SMS messages.
useless: crashes at start
totally useless app
asks to access your contacts, then crashes

callcentric unfortunately never made in the years any app that was of any use

Not a VoIP app!!!
You are better off using a true VoIP app such as Zoiper. I’ve never understood the advantage of a click2dial app for the user. It incurs double the Callcentric charges plus your cell phone minutes if you choose to receive the callback there.
Great service
UPDATE for newest version: I'm grateful this app is getting attention and nice features. But on my iPad Air, iOS 9 (yeah, old OS) it seems to immediately crash. UPDATE again: after deleting app and reinstalling, it now launches fine. Looks great, totally new!!
I don't need to use this app much but it is really great to have when I do need it, like making long distance calls while I'm at work (without making employer foot the bill for my call). But mostly I use Acrobits SoftPhone app with Callcentric. I've been a customer for years and finally disconnected my landline and ported my number to Callcentric (I used their free NY number before that). Very high quality service.

Does nothing
Can't call out and can't receive inbound calls from app. The desktop app has some interesting voicemail options though.
Disaster
It just won't work no matter what you're doing
This is a trap!
This is not a true sip/VoIP client. This is a click2dial app where it calls you first and then makes the connection afterwards. If you are a callcentric pay as you go client you will get billed double per call. Charge for incoming and the minutes for the connecting outbound call.... This can eat your balance real quick!

Unbelievably terrible
I spend a lot of time abroad, so I've tried nearly every VOIP app out there, including Hangouts by Google, Burner, Pinger, Magicjack, etc.
I've followed the online instructions for this app several times now over the last 2 years, and I've yet to be able to receive or complete a call using the Callcentric iPhone app. Save your balance and use a free service.

Worthless app
Downloaded app, it crashes at startup. Worthless. Call centric services are great and highly recommended, but not this app. Waste of time.
ok, but missing lots of features
works as a click2call, but this app could be so much more.
It should:
- allow picking a callerid for click2call
- retrieve and play voicemail
- account integration, import/export/merge contact lists, etc...

New callcentric customer, using 3cx instead
This app is pathetic. I'm very happy so far with callcentric, but this app has not contributed whatsoever to my satisfaction. I'm using 3cx with good success, but this app is horribly disappointing. Don't let it discourage you from signing up for callcentric, because the service works quite nicely.

Don't rate it if you don't understand it!
This is a supplementary app to Callcentric VoIP service. It does the same as their "Click to call" feature on their web site does. This is not the primary way that their service functions. Callcentric is a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) SIP VoIP provider. You can use their service with a number of SIP devices: routers, ATAs, SIP phones (hardware and software) and even SIP apps for IOS (such as Groundwire or SIP Pphone). You can also use their service with VoIP PBXs, such as Asterisk, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express, etc. Their service is extremely reliable and is of great quality. Additionally, it's extremely reasonably priced. Their tech support (via email) has almost instantaneous response and is probably the best among their competitors.
The "Click to call" feature that this app provides is only useful if you need to make a call from either a restricted phone, which cannot make outbound calls, or to bypass expensive fees that a phone service may have. For instance, if you want to make a personal international call from your work phone, you can use the "click to call" feature to have Callcentric call you and then have Callcentric call the international number. Their International rates are the best among VoIP providers, by the way. This app would allow you to bypass the exorbitant international fees that your mobile provider charges per minute. Most of Callcentric international calls are $.03 - $.07 per minute. Also, if you purchase the SIP Phone or Groundwire app, and set the app up to work with Callcentric, for which they have a pre-set, you can call anywhere using VoIP, so you would not be spending your mobile minutes.
I've had Callcentric for over four years now. I'm a VoIP engineer, and am using their SIP service for my home PBX, as well as for my VoIP lab. I've also used their service on my iPad and iPhones when traveling internationally, which allowed me to call from a foreign county as though I was calling from the US. I was also able to receive incoming calls at my US number while being overseas, utilizing my iPad and/or iPhone and the Groundwire app. The SIP Phone app is a scaled down version of the Groundwire app with fewer features but the same great quality.
I wish people would do just a little research before posting their comments.

Not a SIP client.
If you are looking for callback this probably works. If CALLCENTRIC is your VoIP provider then pay and get BRIA or WHISTLE.
Basic problems
How about some basic things like letter coded digits (1=ABC, 2=DEF, etc). Getting past "call failed" would be nice too.
Flat out doesn't work
Not sure what the problem is and callcentric is quiet about it. It worked right after download, now it won't even boot up. If they fix it, it's good. Right now, it's garbage.
Work in progress
Never been able to get past the "call failed" part. It is a great VoIP company, but need to work on the iPhone app. Bottom line... had to delete it.
Who doesn't like paying for a single call twice
So I get charged for cellular minutes AND my call centric minutes? What a deal!!!!
I'm shocked more people aren't using it. I bet these guys are in favor of the death tax too.
I love callcentric but this app is crazy talk.

Really?
Does not work. It try's to dial then says, "Call Failed." Let us know when you've made this app actually do something.
What's the point?
Its just a dialer. Doesn't actually make calls.
Interesting, for viewing my balance, but ...
... It still needs lots of work.
Compared to my "Groundwire" App, full SIP Client for WiFi VoIP calls, from Acrobits, this CallCentric App is at it's infancy.
I don't know if it's made to receive calls, 'cause no settings exist to create incoming parameters, plus the App didn't ring when i called it from my cell#, ... and I don't know if calling to another CallCentric number is free, but it's nice to see the balance on my account, without having to log into my website based account.
I'm using it on my iPad2 - WiFi Only tablet
I don't understand why calls need to be placed with this App, similar to a GoogleVoice account, where it calls your number back, then places the call to the number you originally wanted.
There isn't any voice routines in it to talk via the App.
Why would I want to be charged for a call similarly placed as GoogleVoice does it, when I can use my GoogleVoice number to call me back for a free call. :-)
As I stated before, it's a nice start, and good for checking your balance in your CallCentric account.
Maybe later on they'll put the other routines in to receive, and make calls, directly from the App, not needing to call back your # first.
I'll continue to use my VoIP client, Groundwire, for WiFi SIP Calls, through the CallCentric service.
I must also add, their service (CallCentric) is BETTER than the original phone company is, and their customer service is as good as the original phone company WAS, before the "break-up" and break-down of Ma Bell.
Come now, CallCentric, ... Make this App a full-fledged VoIP client, and also add Video Chat, over SIP & IP-to-IP, too!
You can do it...! :-)
