If you are an iPhone user who makes lots of VoIP calls using the Truphone app, you may want to reconsider updating your iPhone to OS 3.1. The company behind the Truphone app has issued a statement saying the current version is not compatible with the new OS update.
Truphone is a VoIP app that routes calls across the Internet to save users money. Like Skype, calls to other Truphone users are free and calls to other users around the world are available for a low price.
The app is available for free on the App Store for the iPhone and the iPod touch. Truphone issued a statement saying, "We are aware of this issue and indeed already have a solution (Truphone 3.03), with Apple for approval. We had hoped that our new version would be approved and available at the same time as the Apple 3.1 firmware. We are, of course, working with Apple to ensure a speedy release of this update."
Or use Fring and get real VoIP with a company like tierzero.net where I live in Los Angeles.
Jeez! Shouldn’t this be determined and announced before an upgrade is release? Is this the fault of Apple or the lack of due diligence on the part of Truphone?
