Game to phone VoIP calls with Razer Comms Android app

Razer today (5 December 2013) launched the free Android version of Razer Comms, allowing gamers to make calls and send messages while in-game through the Razer Comms PC client to Android phones, and vice-versa.

An update to the Razer Comms PC client also allows gamers to reply to text messages or reject calls from their Android phones within the PC client. This eliminates the need to Alt-Tab from the game or take eyes of the cross-hairs to check a phone.

The Razer Comms app is compatible with Android phones and tablets, and you can grab it here for free: Razer Comms for Android
