Reliable callback technology is used for calls thus providing best phone call quality with no extra delays and latency typical for VoIP.

IM+ for Skype is available in App Store on iPhone under the Social Networking category.

IM+ for Skype is fully compatible with Skype calling plans such as Skype Unlimited or Skype Pro thus making possible significant savings on mobile communication including long distance calls.

Currently IM+ for Skype is also available for RIM BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian, J2ME, Palm and Android smartphones.

Truphone debutes the ability to make and receive Skype calls and instant messaging to the entire Skype user base from its iPhone and iPod touch applications. The service is scheduled to be available to all customers during the week of Jan. 12.

The introduction was made at ?ShowStoppers @ Macworld 2009? and will be showcased at the Truphone stand (#3228) at Macworld for the remainder of the week.

This represents one more step toward making Truphone the open ?all-in-one conversations hub? for iPhone and iPod touch users.

Truphone customers on both Apple devices can now reach their Skype friends via their Skype IDs. This further expands the universe of people with whom Truphone customers can stay in touch.
