Low-cost international calls are now available on the iPhone via the Truephone beta service. The Truephone application is available from the Apple App Store now. The application allows users to connect to the Internet for calls rather than the GSM network.

Using Truephone rates for calls from the Truephone application to landlines are $0.06 per minute and calls to mobile lines are $0.30 per minute. In Canada, US, and China users can call mobile phones for $0.06 per minute. The application is free to download.

James Tagg, Truphone's CEO, said: "What Truephone for the iPhone does is really simple but absolutely sensational: it gives people low-priced international calls, whether they want to phone someone abroad or avoid roaming charges when making calls from abroad."
