The phone call is fun again! Share location, photos, contacts and more, with real-time updates, while youre talking on the phone.

Thrutu for iPhone comes with six buttons built in:

★ Location: see each other’s position on a map, updating live as you move.
★ Camera: snap and share a photo during a call
★ Gallery: share a photo thats already stored on the phone.
★ Contacts: instantly send contact details
★ Prod: convey touch in a phone call by making the other phone vibrate!
★ Doodle: share interactive sketches as you talk.

Plus, you can install extra buttons - games, utilities and social networking services - from Thrutu Central, our directory of buttons created by the Thrutu Team and by our developer community.

Dont want to talk on the phone? With the new interactive mode, you can even use all these real-time sharing games and utilities without making a phone call. Interactive mode alerts your Thrutu-enabled friend to join into an interactive session where you can exchange free text messages, real-time maps, doodles, co-browsing, games and much more.

Thrutu brings new fun and function to the phone call. Its so simple that youll wonder why phone calls couldnt always work this way.

USING THRUTU

For the best experience, Thrutu needs a simultaneous data connection alongside the phone call. Most, but not all, 3G networks support this - notably, if youre a Verizon user, youll need to be connected to Wifi to get the fully interactive experience. If theres no data connection available, or if the person youre talking to doesnt have the app installed, Thrutu makes it really easy to share things using SMS messages (or email if you prefer) instead.

To activate Thrutu on your phone, you have two options:

★ Send an SMS to our servers. This is really easy, but depending on your location, this may be an international SMS.
★ If you prefer not to send this SMS, you can activate manually by entering your phone number.
