Truphone is a brand new piece of free software that brings VoIP to your mobile. That means free mobiles calls to other Truphone users or very cheap calls to anyone else. They’re offering free calls to 1.6 billion landlines until June 30th 2007.
Truphone works wherever you have access to the internet via Wi-Fi - and the availability of wireless connectivity is absolutely booming. This can mean your home, office, public areas or commercial hotspots (coffee shops, airports etc). You will be able to make free or VoIP-rate calls from your sofa or when visiting friends with Wi-Fi. Similarly, Truphone calls can be made from your office and other workplaces you visit.
Truphone now roams seamlessly on The Cloud’s network of hotspots. That means you walk into one of 7,000+ UK locations - such as airports, coffee shops, pubs or train stations - run the new Wizard, and Truphone just works. This hotspot service adds 3p/min to incoming and outgoing calls, so treat yourself to a muffin while you’re saving money and sipping cappuccinos. Find out more at their webpage!
