Truphone to demonstrate first VoIP-over-WiFi call on Apple's iPhone

Truphone will today give the first public demonstration of a Voice over
Internet Protocol over Wi-Fi phone call on the Apple iPhone. Chief
executive officer James Tagg will make the VoIP call in front of an
audience of 350 delegates to DEMOfall 07 in San Diego, CA.

The company will also give a demonstration of an application that mashes
up social networking site Facebook and traditional telephony. Any
Facebook user will be able to click on a friend's Truphone 'Call Me'
button, and a free phone call will be initiated to whichever phone their
friend has chosen. This will mean free calls to real phones for everyone
in the Facebook community.

Altogether, Truphone will today demonstrate:
- VoIP on the Apple iPhone (SIP-SIP, SIP-Phone, Phone-SIP)
- VoIP from Facebook (to SIP and to PSTN)
- and, as an encore, Facebook-iPhone using SIP.

Key facts

iPhone demonstration
1* Many people have called for true VoIP calling on Apple's iPhone.
Truphone will today prove that it is possible using the iPhone's
in-built Wi-Fi capability.
2* Truphone's demonstration will comprise two iPhones connected to
Wi-Fi on the DEMOfall 07 stage. A VoIP call will be initiated from one
handset, routed via Wi-Fi and the Internet to Truphone's servers, and
then back again to the access point and onwards to the destination
handset - a 100% IP phone call.
3* Today's event will be a live demonstration only and is not a
commercial launch of Truphone on the iPhone.
4* Truphone does not need to unlock the SIM in order to operate its
service for the iPhone.

Facebook demonstration
1* The company will also give a demonstration today of an
application that mashes up social networking site Facebook with
traditional telephony. The big differentiator between Truphone's
demonstration and other applications for Facebook is that Truphone is
the only one to embed an actual phone into the very heart of Facebook.
2* Facebook users will be able to drop their Truphone 'Call Me'
button onto their friends' Walls and also embed it into Facebook
messages. People will be able to allow other people to call them, while
keeping their actual number confidential.
3* The Truphone 'Call Me' button for Facebook to be demonstrated
today showcases the potential for additional innovative services enabled
by Truphone's all-IP internet telephony infrastructure.
4* Truphone's Facebook application is currently in development.

Quotes

James Tagg, Truphone's CEO, said:

* "Truphone is truly the mobile operator for the internet age and
our aim is to see Truphone available on all cellular phones with the
inherent functionality needed to make VoIP calls. The Apple iPhone is
such a phone and we're pleased to be able to show it working for real."
* "People today use multiple tools to communicate in different
ways at different times, but this multiplication of options can serve to
confuse consumers. By providing the Facebook community with free calls
to real phones, Truphone will genuinely help bridge the worlds of
traditional and internet telephony."
