Season's greetings and some good news

As 2007 draws to a wintry close (especially here at Truphone Towers - brrrr), we've a couple of stocking fillers that we hope 'yule' love (ho ho).

First out of the sack of presents is the extension of free Truphone calling to landlines (and some cellphones) in 40 countries until the end of February . Now there's no excuse not to call all your relatives over the holidays ;-D

Secondly, if you've been lucky enough to get a new phone, we're pleased to confirm our support for the Nokia E51, N81, N81 8GB, N82 and N95 8GB. Just text 'tru' to +44 7624 000 000.

Thank you for all your custom and support in 2007. We've worked hard to build a new type of phone company for the internet age and have launched SMS over IP, calls over 3G, multi-SIM support for travellers and our brand new application for Facebook®.

And 2008 should be even better. We've got all kinds of goodies bubbling away in the labs, fizzing next to some rather peculiar VoIP-enabled test tubes, but we'll leave news of those for now.

Instead, put your feet up, enjoy a snack and we wish you a happy, peaceful holiday for you and your family.

Truphone is a 'Red Herring 100 Global' award winner

Nice news in from Seattle late last night: the respected magazine Red Herring has given Truphone a place in its Red Herring 100 Global 2007 list. One thousand eight hundred companies were eligible for the awards - Red Herring 100 winners and finalists from North America, Europe and Asia in the last three years - which celebrate the world's most promising private technology ventures.

To be in the 100 winners is a top achievement - we thought you'd like to know.
