Background calling on iPhone & iPod 4.0

Recently we released Truphone for iPhone 4.0 & iPod 4.0, which performed in background mode, allowing you to receive calls regardless of what other task you were performing at the time. We believe it’s a great feature that really expands the way you can use Truphone and make calls for free or next to nothing - but a few weeks into it, we are not happy with the way the app has been performing in background mode.

So, we’re doing something about it. We just pushed a new version into the App Store that has all the features you know and love from Truphone, but temporarily it doesn't have the feature that allows people to call you even when the app isn’t open. We’ll add this great feature back in as soon as we’re satisfied that it’s performing properly. You will however still be able to surf the internet and write emails whilst on a call – only the incoming call feature is affected.

If you've been experiencing any issues with the new app, we encourage you to download the new updated version of Truphone for iPhone or iPod and hope you like the results.

We’ll keep you updated with any future developments to background calling.

I upgraded from a Nokia E90 to the iPhone4.
Truphone is superbly integrated with Nokia. Friends could always call my on Truphone using my Nokia.
I'm quite disappointed with the iPhone solution. Only when the Truphone App is up and running friends can call my phone.

To have the App working in tghe background on the iPhone should have the highest priority of the Truphone developers.

Skype works in the background. Truphone not. I was using Truphone from the start and I like it on my Nokia.

I am disappointed that the incoming call feature is still not resolved. I live in an area where none of the service providers give adequate cover which means I loose a lot of incoming calls. This was not the case with the previous nokia

This is something that should've been resolved before the phone was released. When will people start giving us what we want rather than just dropping products that clearly aren't ready?

Release of iphone and ipad is killer for cell phones. These provide all the applications as of cell phones. So individuals prefer to have a iphone rather a cell phone.
