UK-based MVoIP (Mobile VoIP) service provider, Truphone has breached the gap between web and mobile VoIP by introducing a new service, which would enable the Truphone users to directly talk with the Google Talk users. See the video demonstration here.
Launched in September 2006, Truphone has emerged as one of the most popular Mobile VoIP applications brining free VoIP services to the WiFi enabled Nokia phones.
As of now, it is supporting Nokia’s E60, E61, E70 and N80 Internet Edition handsets. The company plans to add 25 more phones for its MVOIP applications by the end of this year.
In a statement, Truphone CEO, James Tagg revealed,
Interoperability between Google Talk and Truphone means the web/mobile VoIP divide has been bridged. Google Talk can call Truphone, and Truphone can call Google Talk.
The truphone is free downloadable software. The calls between Truphone headsets are always free. The recently announced Truphone-Google Talk interoperability is also free. However, the company fixes charges a little amount for other phones.The new service would attract the customers who look for VoIP and IM convergence.
