Keeping things simple

A poll conducted recently of UK consumers found that over half were confused and overwhelmed by their mobile phone charges (read the article here).

That is why at Truphone, we try to keep our pricing clear and simple.

• No lengthy contracts - just pay as you go
• The same call rates, wherever you are in the world
• No peak/off-peak rates - you pay the same great rate, any time of the day or night
• 3 great pricing options. Our TruStandard rates, our even-lower TruSaver rates, and TruUnlimited, our unlimited calling plan

And best of all, Truphone to Truphone calls, when you are both connected to Wi-Fi, are completely free.

Clear and simple!

A thought on the AT&T announcement

Following the announcement by AT&T in the USA that they will now allow VoIP calls over 3G on the iPhone, here is an interesting opinion piece on the subject from our US PR guy Andy Abramson.

We applaud AT&T's decision, and hope more networks and carriers around the world follow suit.
