Is anyone else using truphone app for iPhone?

I came across the truphone app for iPhone [available for Nokia, Blackberry too] and got it all set on mine and wife's iPhones to make calls over the web and was wondering if anyone else may be using it.

Yes.

I use it all the time when overseas, must have saved a fortune when I was in Japan last year.

I noticed that it's not on continuously and I have to start the app for it to be online [Duh!] but cannot guarantee the other person I wish to speak will also have it on at the same time. Unlike Skype which I can set to be on on my PC when the PC starts.

Just turn on the Shake to Lock feature, then you can keep it on, it also recieves push notifications if you allow it to.

I am a bit lost mate. Can you explain step by step how to do this please?

Many thanks.

Go into Settings
Scroll down to the Truphone icon under applications
Select it
Scroll down and set Shake to Lock to ON

Now launch TruPhone

Once you're logged in, shake your phone and it will lock it, so you can lock the phone but stay connected with the app running.

Many thanks Jason. Got it.
