How to create phone calls on your Apple iPad

As the iPad was 1st unveiled back in January, a lot of detractor have complained that the much-hyped tablet device is really just an oversized iPhone, without the iPhone part.

Stephen Colbert so astutely noted, "If you've got an iPhone by now, the iPad will be very recognizable to you. The same touch screen technology. The same applications and just like the iPhone, you can't make calls with it."

Ha! really, scratch that last part. This week, a company called Truphone has released an iPad app which basically allows iPad owner to wield their gadget like a giant iPhone. Truphone is a VoIP application. similar to Skype, it harnesses the power of the Web to go around traditional phone lines.

According to Truphone, everyone calls to other Truphone, Skype, or Google Talk users be free; you pay a really low rate to call a landline otherwise mobile phone - five cents per minute in the US, less if you sign up for a monthly plan. The iPad version of Truphone - the app is also obtainable on the iPhone - uses the built-in speaker and mic on the iPad to relay calls.

But let's face it, folks: by the Apple iPad like an Apple iPhone is jump to look really, really silly. The tablet device, for one, measures some 9 inches by 7 inches. It's large, it's important, and no one wants to hold that thing up to their head. Over at TechCrunch, John Biggs films himself by the Truphone, and admit that it all makes for "the most ridiculous talking knowledge you’ve ever seen."



Click on the video and see for yourself. Or verify out some of our prior story about VoIP apps on Apple plans. Late last month, for example, Line2 was yanked from the iTunes store after a hacker attack. And previous that, Apple and Google scuffle over Google Voice.

Everything you need to know about the Truphone mobile VoIP network launch

As a mobile operator can be a tough game at the best of times. It's an luxurious service to run, and subscribers are flighty. It's even more hard for virtual network operators. These are mobile networks who don't actually possess their own cell towers and masts. They have to rent space from better operators who own the infrastructure - and that attaches a whole extra layer of expense and uncertainty. So it may shock some today that mobile VoIP service Truphone is launching a mobile virtual network over Vodafone in the UK.

What is Truphone?

Truphone is a mobile application that permits users to make VoIP calls - that is voice calls that go over the internet rather than traditional mobile networks. It's a much cheaper way to make voice calls, but it needs a modern network capable of good data services.

VoIP works over the internet, so you can make calls from your own computer, but that’s not what Truphone does. Truphone is a fully-play mobile VoIP service. You can download the Truphone application on to your mobile, and make VoIP calls through it.
That the way the call is charged to your data plan rather than your voice plan and frequently ends up being much cheaper . It also holds Instant Messaging, both internally and to other IM clients like GoogleTalk and Aim.

Apple's latest iPod a VOIP phone in disguise

The worst kept secret in home electronics was officially exposed by Apple Inc. yesterday when the company announces its latest iPod Touch, which is an iPod that looks closely like the iPhone, but can't be used to make phone calls yet.


And I say yet because the attractive thing about this new Apple iPod is that it is Wi-Fi compatible which means it may be able to run Skype or a new type of Voice Over Internet Protocol phone program soon.


Not being able to use an iPod on a wireless network has been a big slam next to the device in the past. Other company's product such as Microsoft Corp.'s Zune player and Archos Inc.'s line of Wi-Fi product have all been able to use wireless networks to surf the Internet and replace files. The new iPod sports a large colour screen for presentation album information or videos and it comes bundled with Apple's Safari browser for surfing the Internet. The latest device does away with the iPod's brand click-wheel technology, which made the device popular in the first place. In order to navigate the device a user just touches the screen.

The big statement here was the inclusion of the Wi-Fi capabilities. The reason this is a big statement is because less than a day after revealing the plans people are already talking about how to make the devices capable of Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) calling. It's not a stretch, the device is capable of accessing the Internet, all it would take is a piece of software that allows the iPod to run Skype and the new iPod Touch become an iPhone with minimal service fees and subscription costs as long as the user was located within a wireless hotspot. Skype is already available for iPhone, so putting it on the iPod shouldn't be difficult. Consider the push that many municipality are putting on Wi-Fi connections, it won't be long before most major municipalities are blanketed with Wi-Fi coverage.


The new iPod touch will retail for between $299 and $399. While Apple wouldn't admit it, I am sure the opportunity of seeing the iPod used as a VOIP phone was one of the major factors that saw the iPhone's price slashed by $200 to $399 yesterday. The cost cut comes only three months after people lined up for days to come for the new plans to go on sale. More cuts are likely in the coming months, the iPhone is a cash cow for Apple with some analyst estimating the company is raking in a 50 per cent profit margin on each unit sold. So, if you've been waiting to buy your iPhone you may be rewarded with a lower price and when the iPod Touch is finished able to perform VOIP calling, you will end up with a choice of which device to buy.

How VoIP Works

VoIP convert the voice signal from your telephone into a digital signal that can travel over the Internet. If you are calling a usual telephone number, the signal is then changed back at the other end. Depending on the type of VoIP service, you can make a VoIP call from a computer, a particular VoIP phone, or a usual phone with or without an adapter.


In addition, new wireless "hot spots" in public location such as airports, parks, and cafes allow you to attach to the Internet, and may enable you to use VoIP service wirelessly. If your VoIP service supplier assigns you a regular telephone number, then you can receive calls from regular telephones that don’t need particular equipment, and most possible you'll be able to dial just as you forever have.
