Apple Integrates Truphone’s Application

By integrating Truphone's application to its service, Apple makes it possible for iPhone users to be able to make lower cost international calls via Truphone which are made over the Internet rather than over GSM. This was announced today at App store by Apple.

The download which is available at Apple's official website is simple and free with just few clicks. As a free service, users would not be required to pay any charges, there are no monthly subscriptions or other charges but rather following registration users get £2 of free credit.

 

International users do not need to worry about using their iPhones which can be costly, when making calls from abroad; they will be able to avoid roaming charges. It costs 3p per minute to make Truphone international calls to landlines in 40 countries, and 15p per minute to mobiles.

 

Calling mobiles in Canada, the USA and China, costs the lower 3p per minute rate.

Countries where the call rates apply include the UK, Brazil, Australia, Thailand, Japan, Russia, Hong Kong, and most European countries.
