Looking to save money on all those pricey international telephone calls your organization’s Blackberry users are making as they scoot around the globe?

Here’s some good news:

Global wireless operator Truphone is testing a new service for BlackBerry phones that the company says will make it less expensive and simpler for users to call overseas from their home country.

Truphone Anywhere, which will work in 33 countries, is designed to operate in combination with local carriers.

Truphone Anywhere works in 33 countries worldwide. It saves BlackBerry users from those countries money on the international calls they make from their home country. The service works alongside domestic service providers, but reduces international call costs to as little as six cents a minute.

Truphone works with the user to save them money. Instead of requiring the user to remember what to do, Truphone Anywhere simply asks whether he/she wants to make a Truphone call whenever an international number is dialed. The user simply accepts, and Truphone connects the call.

London-based Truphone’s service, which typically uses Wi-Fi connections for VoIP calls, has so far been available on the Symbian OS-based Nokia devices and Apple’s iPhone. The service doesn’t support Windows Mobile for now.
