Have you got hooked on Facebook yet? Although I try to keep away from it, I do have a Facebook profile and use it as another way of publishing home exchange blog posts as well as keeping in touch with friends (and wasting time!) Truphone is a new type of mobile operator. We provide you with low-cost calls on your mobile. We do this by routing your calls over the internet (VoIP) rather than via traditional mobile operators thus cutting out the middleman. There are no roaming charges, inbound call fees or subscriptions, so we’ve become particularly popular with travellers and travelling-business men/women alike who want to stay in contact with friends, family or the office whilst abroad without breaking the bank. Truphone have now built a unique application on Facebook that enables Facebook users and their friends to call each other for free. It’s a great button if you’re travelling because it helps keep you in contact with your friends and family from anywhere in the world for free and is available to all Facebook users. You can set the button to ring your: - Truphone mobile number - US cellphone - US landline - Other world landline (choice from 40 countries worldwide) To make a call directly from their PC, any of your friends can simply click on the ‘Call Me’ button and the Truphone application makes the call. You don’t need to worry about your privacy, a user's 'Call Me' Button can be set to only be visible to that user's friends so your actual phone numbers are never revealed. Anyone can use it - simply set up an account on Facebook, and add the application to your profile: http://apps.facebook.com/truphone If you do have any questions then check out the page: www.truphone.com/facebook, watch our video or visit the mobilevoipforum. Facebook Facebook is a social utility that offers an efficient way for people to stay connected with their friends and the people around them. Facebook users communicate and share information through the social graph, the network of connections and relationships between people. With more than 54 million users, Facebook is the sixth most-trafficked website in the United States. We were recently contacted by Truphone, a mobile operator that has added a new application on Facebook that enables Facebook users to make free phone calls. This application looks like it could have a lot of potential, not only for keeping in touch with family and friends when travelling, but also for home exchangers when making arrangements in the run-up to an exchange. Email is great but being able to talk one to one is even better. Here are the details from Truphone:
