The company TruPhone plans to release a VoIP application native to the iPhone. This means users will have the added ability to place phone calls over a Wi-Fi connection instead of using their GSM provider. Unfortunately there is nothing available for public consumption yet; however, the dudes at blognation confirm its legitimacy.

The app’s current state defines a true hack job; utilizing an iPhone terminal, the VoIP client instructs the phone to use its on-board SIP stack to place calls over WiFi instead of the inserted SIM. It’s suggested the application will seamlessly switch between your carrier’s network and WiFi, when within range, of course. I would imagine that being configurable to some extent.

According to the company they expect to release a beta in ~ 4 weeks time. TruPhone.com will be accepting registrations on their site — on a first come, first serve basis.
