A weekend away, and Czech out the savings

A long weekend away for my wife’s birthday, a small ‘pension’ in Prague, and the rugrats staying home at my parents… “woof woof!” as Donald Sutherland’s Oddball was prone to saying in Kelly’s Heroes.

And – surprise – free WiFi in our otherwise average ‘pension’, which meant my wife could make free Truphone calls home every morning to check the kids (and my parents) were still alive. It probably saved us the equivalent of one of Kelly’s gold bars. Woof woof!

Talking about Truphone

The Truphone beta has been available for four weeks now, and we're grateful that it has generated a fair chunk of coverage, both within the blogging community and also in the mainstream press. You can find Truphone mentions yourself of course using Google News and Technorati, amongst others, but here are some of our favourites anyway.

Peter Judge from Techworld found that "Truphone was very usable, and gave good quality" and concluded "anyone with a phone that can use Truphone (basically, the Nokia E-series) should give it a go"

The VoIP Girl wrote approvingly "The company also resides on an all organic farm in Kent, UK, which I think is kind of cool."

Alec Saunders wrote on his blog that Truphone was "a dead simple system" and a terrifically important development

Tom Keating commented on TMCnet that "provisioning, installation and use are a breeze"

Martin Geddes writing on Telepocalypse titled his article "Truly scrumptious" and said "This is fixed-mobile convergence alright, but on the user’s agenda"

Thank you once more to everyone who has mentioned Truphone to date. We've got lots of sizzlingly good developments coming in the pipeline and we hope you'll like those too.
