Designed to provide low–priced international calls for Apple® iPhone users, Truphone for the iPhone hit Apple´s new App Store today.
James Tagg, Truphone´s CEO, said: "What Truphone for the iPhone does is really simple but absolutely sensational: it gives people low–priced international calls, whether they want to phone someone abroad or avoid roaming charges when making calls from abroad.
"With just a few clicks to download and install Truphone, anyone can afford to take their iPhone on holiday this summer - or call their friends and family abroad." he added.
Truphone enables an iPhone to make calls to any number over the internet instead of over GSM, at Truphone´s fabulous internet rates. The rates are especially competitive for international calls, including landlines in 40 countries at GBP0.03 [USD0.06] per minute and mobiles at just GBP0.15 [USD0.30] per minute. To Canada, the USA and China, even calls to mobiles are just GBP0.03 [USD0.06] per minute.
Making a call using Truphone is exactly like making any other call on the iPhone: a single touch to bring the dialler up on the touch screen, touch–dial the number or choose from the iPhone´s own address book, and a touch to start the call. [Visit www.truphone.com/iphone for a preview video.]
Truphone for the iPhone is available to download from Apple´s new App Store for free. There are no monthly subscriptions or other charges.
