iPhone VoIP Application and App store

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.
