Truphone Local Anywhere makes all international calls local calls

Traveling abroad is usually a great experience whether your traveling for business, school, or leisure. But talking to people back home one you get there can be a bit of an issue given the high cost of international roaming and calling. For those who travel often, it is common to have multiple phones or SIM cards, one for each country. Truphone is looking to change that situation with its new Truphone Local Anywhere service.

The service will allow international travelers to use only one phone and one SIM as long as they are in a supported country. It makes every phone call a local call, meaning you don’t have to pay those ridiculous international cell phone rates. It does this by giving multiple cell phone numbers, one for each country the user frequents, so its also cheaper for those calling you from the country you’re not in. The lowest rates are available if you call other Truphone Local Anywhere members.

Android gets Truphone, lets you make cheap calls

One of the greatest features on the G1, as with most other smartphones, is the inclusion of Wi-Fi in addition to 3G wireless. It is much easier for those whose carriers might have limit data limits on the 3G networks or who just want more speed. It can also provide for cheaper phone calls as with the new Android app from Truphone.

Truphone is bringing its iPhone, Nokia, and Blackberry app to the Android Marketplace, allowing users to make incredibly cheap or even free phone calls. With the app, you can call any other Truphone user free of charge or call international numbers very cheaply. For instance, a call from the USA to France is $0.018 for a landline or $0.188 for cellphone.
