Truphone iPhone voip app review
Truphone has launch a VoIP application for the iPhone 3G thus allowing you to save euros on international calls. Calls to any landline anywhere in the world are just 6 cents per minute, to mobile is 15 cents per minute. Note please that we’re talking about dollar cents here, so we basically get a 30 percent discount on the fare. To use Truephone voip, you need to have access to wifi, as iPhone VoIP apps aren’t allowed to use 3G.
Pros
- Truphones merges into the iPhone seamlessly, as it has almost the same UI as the iPhone’s phone application
- The sound quality is really good, sometimes crystal clear
- Contacts are imported, so you can easily dial up your friends
- You get a four dollar credit to start with
- When you make a cal through Truphone, your regular number on the screen.
Cons
- When you receive a regular incoming call, your Truphone conversation is instantly killed. This may not be ideal for important ophone calls
- Your elite contacts, “favorites”, aren’t imported
- No speaker phone option
It is very good first try by the Truphone iPhone app. With the exception of the interrupted incoming, the amount of money you will save outweighs everything else especially when you live in Europe. We are sure with more development, a lot will improve on this voip app.
I am using this iphone app, and Im very happy with costs and rates, really good service!
