Truphone is a Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) solution. Truphone does not deduct from your minutes. It uses your cellular phone's WiFi connect to send and receive calls. Garrett @Dylan:

Truphone, like any VOIP system, should operate 100% over wifi networks, cell carrier not involved. You should be able to take your phone to any other country, turn off data & voice roaming, and use truphone to make calls over wifi, without AT&T even knowing. Please correct me if Im wrong - Im going on vacation to Europe in a couple weeks and am planning on using my iphone to call the US cheaply.

AT&T still charges minutes while you use TruPhone, but it's just regular AT&T talk minutes, not roaming minutes. Beyond the AT&T deductions to the minutes within my plan, calling China is 6 cents per minute to a landline phone. This is a dramatic difference from AT&T's fees. Also, the call quality between the U.S. and China compared to my hometown and across the street is no different. The call quality is excellent. Highly recommended. This is the service you need for international calls if you have a wireless network. TruPhone took a bit to set it up, but once it was working, it worked just like the iPhone only much cheaper.

I would have used GSM to call my friend but now due to truphone the call was carried completely over IP and therefore FREE end to end, better I also discovered that the call quality was beating my previous call with the same person over GSM. Technology which just impresses gets my thumbs up. Truphone is fantastic I just made my first truphone (running on the iPhone) to truphone number (running on the Nokia E51) call.
