TruPhone saves the day

By Ernest Svenson

I thought my iPhone would be able to work on the local phone network here in Panama. It did last time I was here, but not this time. AT&T assured me it would when I checked right before I left on my trip. ""Yes sir, you're signed up for the Intenational option at $3.99 a month," the representative told me.

That turned out not to be true. But doesn't matter because I have the TruPhone app for my iPhone which lets me make low cost calls using the free Wi-Fi at my brother's beach paradise.

TruPhone is a little buggy but unlike the AT&T plan, it's free to set up. And, unlike the AT&T service, it actually allows me to make calls.
