Truphone has updated their Android build to 3.0.2, now bringing Wi-Fi calling to the Nexus One.  The VoIP solution provided by Truphone should be very appealing to Nexus One and other device users who want to test out some good ol’ Wi-Fi data and voice services .  Truphone is a free application available for Android, Symbian, BlackBerry, iPhone and iPod Touch.

Read on for full details of the Truphone 3.0.2 release for Nexus One.

Truphone’s new Android application updated to operate on Google’s new device

Hot on the heels of the release of Truphone’s VoIP enabled Truphone for Android application earlier this month, Truphone, the next generation global mobile operator, today announces that it is the first company to provide
Wi-Fi calling on the Nexus One device from Google.

Following collaboration with Google, Truphone is pleased to announce that from today, Truphone for Android is compatible with the Nexus One.  In addition to compatibility with the Nexus One, the update (version 3.0.2), ensures compatibility with the T-Mobile Pulse, meaning that Truphone is now Wi-Fi compatible with a total of five Android devices.

Karl Good, Director of Applications for Truphone said, “Google has been very helpful in working with the Truphone team to allow us to provide our award-winning solution to the growing number of Nexus One owners. Once again it is a testament to Truphone that we are the first to be able to offer this technology to consumers.”

Truphone for Android (version 3.0.2), is available now as a free download in the Android Market.

Calls can be made outside of  Wi-Fi using ‘Truphone Anywhere’ in 33 countries around the world, saving Android users from those countries money on international calls made from their home country. The easy-to-use service works alongside domestic service providers, but reduces international call costs to as little as £0.03/$0.06 [UK/RoW] per minute.

Unlike a ‘calling card’, Truphone Anywhere doesn’t require a user to remember what to do. Whenever an international number is dialled Truphone Anywhere simply asks whether he/she wants to make a Truphone call. The user simply accepts, and Truphone connects the
call.

About Truphone

Founded in 2006, Truphone is a global mobile communications provider in the business of innovating how people converse in our globally connected world. As the industry’s first mobile Internet operator, the company makes it easy and affordable for users all over the world to keep in touch with friends, family and business contacts overseas or whilst roaming.

According to Frost & Sullivan, “Truphone has been able to differentiate its products from those of its competitors due to the immense commitment it has made in research and development and by having strategic partnerships with major industry participants across the mobile ecosystem. As a result, it has successfully enabled the firm to address its customers’ needs and expectations, resulting in Truphone being a dominant player in the mVoIP market.”

Truphone’s heritage in mobile internet telephony, developing apps for Nokia, iPhone, iPod touch, BlackBerry and Android devices, means that unlike other operators, it has never been restricted by national borders. It believes that its customers should enjoy local rates, rather than inflated roaming rates, anywhere that Truphone has established operations.  Truphone has applied this philosophy to the launch of its new Truphone Local Anywhere™  SIM card which gives international travellers the convenience of a single SIM card to access local rates for calls, text and data, both when they are at home or away.

Truphone is the trading name of Software Cellular Network (SCN) Ltd. SCN is privately owned, funded by both venture capital investment and angel investors.
