Truphone's iPhone App Adds Skype, Twitter Support

Truphone, which I've written about twice recently, announced Tuesday at Macworld that it was adding the ability to make and receive Skype calls to its iPhone / iPod Touch application, as well as adding support for Twitter, Google Talk, MSN Messenger, and Yahoo Messenger.

The new services are scheduled to be available to all customers during the week of Jan. 12.

Geraldine Wilson, Truphone CEO said:

"The introduction of Skype calling and instant messaging represents yet another breakthrough for Truphone. What this means for Truphone's customers is that they can now call or message all their Skype friends using their iPhone or iPod touch. This allows iPhone and iPod touch users to have a choice in how they stay in touch with friends and colleagues around the world—all within the one application."

The application is free in the App Store; calls to other Truphone users are also free. Otherwise, you can find pricing here.
