Gear Diary Truphone Introduces Truphone Local Anywhere Unlocked SIMs For Cheap Calls Any Time. photoTruphone is the one VOiP service that has always worked well for me on my iPhone. Now they have rolled out their new Truphone Local Anywhere service and, surprisingly, it relies on… a SIM card. That’s right, the new services is offering pre-paid SIM cards that let you make calls at super low prices.

They are advertising the service as “The one smart SIM that lets you be local, anywhere.”

The SIMs offer low rates in your country of residence ($.15/ minute in the US), and even include “competitive SMS and data rates). And when you are traveling-

–you pay the low rates there… with the same SIM. (And it will work in 185 countries already.)

– you can add a new local number and…

–it won’t cost anything extra to receive calls from your home country.

Having a father who was heavily involved in early laser and fiber-optical research, Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadgets. Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him.
