3G and background calling now available with Truphone v4.0

Posted by Heath from Truphone on June 24, 2010

Truphone for iPhone v4.0 Unless you have been living in a cave over the past few months, you would have heard about iPhone 4, Apple's latest and greatest phone, which went on sale overnight.

To celebrate, we are all very excited to announce that we have just upgraded our iPhone and iPod touch applications to take advantage of some of the great new features with this launch.

So what’s new with these updates?

======

3G Calling

You can now place and receive calls over 3G networks! This means that you have the option to make calls as part of your data package even when out of Wi-Fi range.

======

Background calling

This has been one of most requested new features from users of our iPhone app, so one we are very excited about. Thanks to Apple iOS 4’s multi-tasking feature, you can now be on a call and running another application at the same time. You also won't miss incoming calls when running another application and you can place a call while surfing the Internet or checking email.

======

Truphone Instant Messenger

We have now added a new feature called Truphone Instant Messenger. For the first time, you will be able to chat via IM with other Truphone users as well as contacts on several of the most popular social networking sites, including Facebook, Skype, AIM, GoogleTalk and MSN – all in one place, without having to open up multiple IM applications.

======

Both are now available to download for free from the App Store, or via iTunes.

If you already have either application, you can upgrade now via the App Store to get all of these new features (you will need to have upgraded to iOS 4 first).

Disappointed that Truphone now seems to be for iOS4 only! I have recently had to downgrade my iPhone 3G, due to performance issues with iOS4. This meant having to re-install Truphone from the App Store, but the version for the earlier firmware is gone.

There is a setting in iPod settings to start song at beginning or where it left off.I really enjoy it.

I just downloaded version 4.0 and I have an iphone 3Gs. My phone has the iOS4, so TruPhone should run in the background like it said it would, but as soon as I switched to another app, I was logged out from TruPhone and could not receive calls.

My boyfriend has the very same phone and we tried it at the same time...didn't work.

How to get it to ring even when your are not on the app?

Comfortable boots, elegant life
Some said,”you can know one person by looking what he wears.” Can a shoe reflect what kind of person you are or can tell what experience you have?
I doubt it before, but now I take it as a truth. Now I am a UGG boots seller, selling UGG boots china manufactured in a low UGG boots china price, all are sheepskin UGG boots. I believe all people no matter poor or rich deserve to have an
elegant life.
But how does a boot related to elegant?
I still remember a scene in movie “Forrest. Gump”, Forrest looked at the woman next to him and said: you have a beautiful shoe, I wish I have a shoe like you. But the woman just answered: its hurt! The
next sentence Forrest said touch me forever, “if you want to run far far away
you need a comfortable shoe.”
For some reason that I can’t explain, I have been obsessed with comfortable shoes, especially UGG boots, I never change other brands since the moment I touch it. I can’t say why, but I just know it,
it’s for me, it’s what I dreaming for. UGG boots, a shoe can company with me
through life, comfortable enough to help me walk a long long journey.
Some friend wonder why I just wear UGG brand, here are thousands of shoes brands out there, why just UGG?
Every time I come across with this question, I just reply with smile. It’s just a feeling that can never be said out loud, only those who touch them wear them can understand enchantment of UGG
boots.
The loves of UGG boots make me become a UGG boots seller, I am not just selling shoes, I am selling comfortable and warming, which felling is indispensable of a elegant life.
Do you have a boots that make you comfortable?
You and I deserve to have a elegant life.

I just downloaded truphone for my iphone 3gs, ios4, in hopes of using it with Skype. however none of the calls connect, not even to the echo test. has skype shut down all third party usage, or is this a local problem? Please advise...

WOW, this is the really awesome book. I fully supported this. And totally I like it.

I have been using Truphone for 6 months now, happily. But recently I had some problems with my 2G iPhone and had to restore it to it's factory settings which wiped out my apps. I then went to reload and install Truphone to only find that the only version NOW available will not load on my iPhone. I have saved credits and topped up recently to boot. WHERE CAN I GET THE EARLIER VERSION OF TRUPHONE?

Hi Bob,

Thank you for your query. Unfortunately, we cannot supply you with an older version of the application, as this would require submitting a non-iOS4 compatible version of the application to Apple's App Store, which is not allowed by Apple.

The hardware on the first-generation iPhone / iPod Touch does not support iOS 4, and unfortunately Truphone v4.0 requires you to have iOS 4 on your iPhone / iPod Touch, so that you can use the application and take advantage of all the features, like background calling.

To start using Truphone again, you will need to upgrade to a new iPhone / iPod Touch. We hope to see you using Truphone in the near future.

Hi there, now that you have an iPhone app that works with both Wifi AND 3G, do you have any plans to upgrade your Android app to also allow 3G VoIP?

Cheers,

Dave.

Hi Dave,

It is something we are looking at, for sure, but we don't have a date yet for when this will be available.

Fantastic, good to know it's in the pipeline! Thanks!

Dave

She told me that she had worked for timberland 6 inch years for an insurance company. She never mentioned family, and I did not ask. I have thought about her timberland mens custom often over the years and how she struggled in a society that places an incredible premium on looks, class, wealth and all the other fineries of life. She suffered from a disfigurement that cannot be made to look attractive. I know that her condition black timberland boots hurt her deeply.

Nice informative description. Cool. Thanks
