Final Countdown for high roaming charges in Europe

On the 1st of July, the European Commission starts to get tough on mobile operators and their roaming charges.

The new EU roaming regulations are both good and bad for people and companies who travel internationally. On one hand it forces tariffs to be reduced saving people money, on the other it sets a maximum price which operators can get away with.

At Truphone, we have and will always strive to ensure our prices are set below the EU 'cap', and will continue to forces prices down so our customers always know they're getting the best possible price as well as services.

Ultimately, regulation is slow to make and confined to geo-political boundaries - but the world is round and moves very fast.

We believe the free market will drive prices for customers down faster and further than regulation ever could - and we'll be leading from the front, with a mission to do right by our customers, wherever they may roam.

Isn't that what the free market's all about?

 

It's Tru, making calls on the Underground is possible

The days of saying "I would have called, but I was on the Tube" are coming to an end for Londoners.

Until now, London's Underground network was always a black spot, the place you could guarantee to get no data or calls.

But, that has changed. Five Tube stations are now equipped with Virgin Media's new Wifi service, with another 75 planned to be offering it by the end of July.

While this is not particularly ground-breaking or unpredictable, what gets us excited is the possibilities this brings to travellers, especially those who are using our Tru App, as it means that they can now use their phone almost as normal - even when underground.
