Truphone announced that their iPhone app has been updated to support iOS 4. And it’s not just the under the hood update that makes sure the application is compatible with the latest version of Apple’s mobile OS – there are also some other changes included like:
- 3G calling – just like Skype, Truphone now allows users to place and receive calls over 3G networks. If you’re not on unlimited data plan, this isn’t the cheapest way to call people around the world, but it’s still a nice thing to have a choice.
- Background calling – in other words, you can play a game while talking with your buddies or stay online on Truphone when you’re running other apps.
- Truphone Instant Messenger – allows users to chat with their buddies across social and IM networks — including Facebook, Skype, AIM, Google Talk, MSN and Yahoo!
In a nutshell, it’s a worthy update and I guess you’ve already pushed the button to grab the latest version. In case you don’t have Truphone installed on your iPhone, you can grab it from a link below.
