Cheap International BlackBerry Calls With Truphone VoIP

Mobile VoIP company Truphone has released a new business application for the BlackBerry that lets users make cheap international calls.

Mobile VoIP company Truphone announced yesterday that it has come out with a new business application for the BlackBerry that will allow users to make cheap international calls, according to ZDNet.

Once the user has dialed an international number, the services recognizes it and places the call on the Truphone VoIP network, rather than using a cellular network. That means the caller is simply paying to call a local landline, plus a small fee to Truphone for the call.

In a statement, Truphone chief executive Geraldine Wilson said:

"The launch of Truphone Business follows demand for a business solution from our existing customer base. Companies are keen to cut costs but find that an increasingly mobile and global workforce need to make international calls from mobile devices as a part of day-to-day business."

The service is available through the BlackBerry Enterprise server or via resellers, with different tariffs. The company offers cheap global calling for other smartphones.
