Wherever you travel in the world, I know how important it is to be able to stay connected to back home. That is why I was excited when I heard about Truphone. Designed to provide low-priced international calls for Apple iPhone users, Truphone for the iPhone hit Apple’s new App Store this week. 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 $.06 per minute and mobiles at just $.30 per minute. To Canada, the USA and China, even calls to mobiles are just $.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.

Truphone for the iPhone is available to download from Apple’s new App Store for free. There are no monthly subscriptions or other charges.
