I saw truphone but I already had a gizmo account. I was able to use it with gizmo project, which is set to show my grand central number when I call. Woo Hoo! This is so cool.

I've had the java based version on my Sony Ericsson P990 and it crashes so often that it really isn't usable. (Another reason why the iPhone not having java is a GOOD thing) Hopefully it works well on the iPhone.

Hasn't anyone heard of Truephone? That has been out for the iPhone since Day 1 (iPhone 3G launch day being day 1). Also Truephone has some good advantages over Fring like the ability to access your contacts from the application and also when you call someone they see your iPhone number and not some random number.
