Just a quick flash of mobile VoIP news for those of you who use either Truphone or Google-talk. As you have probably already deduced from the headline, the two services are now interoperable meaning that you can use Truphone to call any GoogleTalk user for free and vice versa.
It is a bit of an unexpected move seeing as Truphone is a standalone mobile VoIP application as opposed to a VoIP client navigator like Fring, but if it means even more free calling options then who are we to argue?
Both GoogleTalk and Truphone are free to download so if you have a compatible phone, an obliging network operator and an unlimited data contract there is no good reason we can think of not to give this a go. If this is all giberish to you head over to the site where the good folks at Truphone have helpfully posted a video that explains how the whole thing works.
