Free calling from ur cell phone – truphone

Do you have a cell phone with symbian OS (hopefully Nokia)? Does it have Wifi? Would you like to make calls abroad at low prices? If the answers to the above are Yes..yes and yes.. then its time to install Truphone on your mobile, its a VOIP software which lets you make calls at low prices.. to many countries even for free (until feb 29th). The software works like a charm and you can make calls immediatly as you normally do…if the numbers are in the US and UK then you do not need to provide the international code, else that little piece of info is required.

All is not rosy here also.. the software tries to take over your phone. It refuses to shut up and lie low (until I found out the option “Disable truphone”), that would not be a problem if it did not always try to switch On the Wifi which is a major battery strain. Another catch is that the software also works over 3G, so you have to be careful that the call does not accidentally takes place over the 3G connection.

The software works on Nokia N-series and the E series, already tested on those, probably it also works on other mobiles having a Symbian OS and Wifi (or 3G).
