iPhone VoIP Application and App store

more iPhone 3g find use VoIP that more info here
Now, at least in the United Kingdom, there’s an application from VoIP provider TruPhone that allows iPhone users to make VoIP calls over WiFi, without soldering and coding.

It is still in beta, but the TruPhone has so far been successful. The TruPhone software for iPhone is a native application, according to Tim Donnelly Smith of TruPhone. Third-party application installers are required.

“Just to be totally clear: the demonstration of TruPhone on the iPhone doesn’t mean that it’s available to use yet,” said Smith. “It’s still early days. Some people have reported that ‘TruPhone has launched …’ but, as the news release (I hope) makes clear, this isn’t the case yet.”

TruPhone expects to release a simpler version in the near future. The new application won’t require breaking the SIM lock, and will switch from WiFi to SIM depending on availability of service.

The question remains: Will AT&T, and Apple, respond to freeing the iPhone from AT&T’s network?

Apple might not mind as much as service provider AT&T will. Smith doesn’t expect trouble from Steve Jobs and Co.

“This program doesn’t do anything that Steve Jobs says not to do,” said Smith. “Apple is fairly neutral on third-party applications and they won’t deliberately try to break them.”



Fring, an Israeli startup that has a great VOIP/Chat service for mobile phones (see our February coverage), is launching an iPhone version of the service sometime in the next 24 hours, we’ve heard.

This is not a browser-based chat app like FlickIM or Mundu. It should be a fully functional downloadable version of the application that allows users to access the fring, Skype, MSN Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ, SIP, Twitter, Yahoo and AIM services.

That means they’ll be using the Jailbreak installer, which severely limits the number of iPhone users who will download and use it.

But Fring may also be the first really killer application that can get non-early adopter users to consider using Jailbreak. The ability to make VOIP calls over the data plan in itself is probably worth it (although it may only work over Wifi, not the Edge network).

This is most likely a test run in preparation for the official iPhone app store that will launch this summer. It’s also a risky strategy - some developers I’ve spoken with are avoiding Jailbreak because they don’t want to anger Apple and have their official applications banned down the road.

Fring is doing very well even without the iPhone. The service, which is about a year old, gets 100,000 new active users per month. We’ll update when Fring actually launches the application.

ATT wireless : AT T Expands International Data Offerings for iPhone

AT&T wireless : AT&T Expands International Data Offerings for iPhone
AT&T Expands International Data Offerings for iPhone
More Data in More Countries for iPhone Users Traveling Abroad
Today announced expanded international data offerings to help

keep iPhone customers connected around the world. Beginning tomorrow, AT&T will offer

two new plans that accommodate iPhone customers' increasing reliance on data services

while traveling abroad. The two new plans, which offer 100 megabytes (MB) or 200 MB a

month, can potentially save customers hundreds of dollars compared to pay-per-use

international data roaming charges.
For discounted international data usage in 67 countries(1), the 100 MB iPhone plan is

available for an additional $119.99 a month, while the 200 MB plan costs an additional

$199.99 a month(2). These new plans are in addition to existing plans for smartphones,

including iPhone, which offer 20 MB and 50 MB in the same countries. There are no long

-term commitments required, so customers can add or remove these plans to their

existing packages on an as-needed basis.
"AT&T has worked diligently to provide affordable options for international roaming

because the feature-rich mobile experience of iPhone is indispensable to users," said Bill

Hague, executive vice president of International for AT&T's wireless operations. "With

these new international data plans, iPhone users can access more data in more

countries for less cost."
With the largest global footprint of any wireless provider, only AT&T customers can make

and receive calls in more than 200 countries and send e-mail and browse the Web in

more than 150 countries, including more than 60 countries with high speed third-

generation (3G) coverage. AT&T also offers voice and data coverage on 120 major

cruise ships.
iPhone 3G is one of more than 40 world devices AT&T offers, more than any other U.S.

wireless service provider. AT&T customers can take their new iPhone 3G devices around

the world, including Japan and South Korea, which require a device that operates on

2100 MHz.
With access to full HTML e-mail, visual voice mail, enhanced Web browsing and other

feature-rich applications that can use a significant amount of data, iPhone users may

need more than they think while traveling abroad. Just 2 MB of data use at pay-per-use

data rates of $0.0195 per kilobyte would cost almost $40, making these new plans very

valuable for customers traveling outside the U.S.
iPhone customers can also save money by following some simple tips, including keeping

data roaming in the preset off position, using Wi-Fi when possible, turning off automatic

checks for e-mail and setting the usage tracker to zero at the beginning of a trip to

monitor use.
To help travelers stay connected and manage their wireless costs, AT&T offers a variety

of resources. AT&T's Travel Guide ( http://www.att.com/travelguide) allows customers to

create an itinerary with rate information for up to 10 international destinations as well as

review discounted voice and data packages.
