truphone.gifUK-based VoIP company Truphone is stirring the mobile industry once again with its new price cut to bring what they claim as the best-ever rates for calling mobiles. Starting today until December 31, 2007, Truphone users can enjoy the following benefits:

  • Free calls to landlines in 40 countries
  • Free calls to cellphones USA, Canada, China, Hong Kong and Singapore
  • Pay 15 pence (USD$0.306 / €0.216 approx.)/min or less to EU mobiles - an average 20% reduction - and no connection charge
  • Rates to international mobiles reduced by an average of 23%
  • Free mobile calls to other (online) Truphone customers
  • No roaming fees - Truphone costs the same wherever the customer is
  • No download cost, no monthly charge and no inbound fees
  • However, you need to check first if your mobile phone is compatible with Truphone before sending an SMS with the word ‘Tru’ to +44 7624 000000 to activate this service.

    Last month, Truphone has wowed the mobile industry when it has successfully made the first-ever call over WiFi using an iPhone, without unlocking it. Knowing it will definitely vex Steve Jobs, it clearly stressed that it was intended for demo only and not for commercial use.

    In the latest Truphone 3.3 version, users can text other Truphone users for free and also make VoIP calls in more places.
