Worry about your team, not your phone bill in South Africa.

The preparation is almost complete, the hard months of training are nearly over and the big event is just one day away… Now you just need your team to win!

The 2010 World Cup in South Africa is going to be an incredible event and with many fans travelling thousands of miles to watch their team, what better way to stay in touch with loved ones back home than with Truphone.

With a free Truphone application, you can make low cost calls over Wi-Fi to any local or international number. You can even make free calls to other Truphone, Skype or Google Talk users over Wi-Fi. Check out our rates to the 32 World Cup countries.

So when you arrive, check if your hotel has Wi-Fi and use Truphone to avoid expensive roaming rates. We’ve also got a list of Wi-Fi hotspots which can be found by visiting our special Truphone World Cup page.

Enjoy the World Cup and good luck!

Happy chatting,

The Truphone Team

Feel as lucky as the Irish, with free St Patrick's Day calls

 

Next Wednesday, March 17, is St. Patrick's Day. 

A day of celebration where the Irish paint towns green all over the world. 

And we thought it might be a bit of fun to take part in the celebrations too. 

So we have picked the top five countries that our Irish Truphone mobile apps users call the most, and made calls to these countries free all day on March 17! 

You don't need to be in Ireland to take part. Wherever you are, calls to landlines in Ireland, Poland or UK, and landlines and mobiles in the USA and Canada will be completely free! 

Find out more here, and Happy St. Patrick's Day from everyone at Truphone!

Eric Schmidt's a fan of Truphone

Amid all the fanfare yesterday at Google's keynote speech at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, where Eric Schmidt talked about 'mobile first' and 'mobile technology being fundamental to human existence', one thing was missing from the reporting of the press conference which we wanted to highlight - Mr Schmidt's inclusion of Truphone in the video of applications for Android handsets that was shown as part of his presentation!!

Call to say 'I love you' this Valentine's Day

This Valentine's Day we want to help you share the love.

How?

With free Truphone calls all-day!

Even if you are on opposite sides of the world there is no reason not to call your special someone and say 'I love you', with free calls all day on February 14 to landlines in 30 countries (and mobile phones in 5 countries). See the list of countries here.

It is open to Truphone customers*, wherever you are in the world, and there is nothing you need to do to take part, apart from make calls on February 14.

*Apart from TruUnlimited customers (who get unlimited free calls anyway!)

Tweet the love and win!

Spread the love this Valentine's Day for your chance to win £20 of Truphone calling credit in our Twitter competition.

Enter by following @truphone, then tweeting the pet name you give to your loved one (no need to disclose their real name!) and including hashtag #trulove.

We will draw two winners at random on February 15, who will each win £20 of Truphone calling credit. Good luck!

P.S. If don't have a pet name or it's too embarrasing, then simply retweet this message.
