Truphone launches low-priced international call service for BlackBerry® smartphones
October 28th 2008 – London, UK - Global mobile network operator
Truphone today launched a beta of its mobile internet telephony service, Truphone Anywhere, for BlackBerry® smartphones
. Truphone Anywhere brings simple, easy and cheap international calling to up to 40 million BlackBerry users across the world.Truphone Anywhere works in 33 countries worldwide. It saves BlackBerry users from those countries money on the international calls they make from their home country. The service works alongside domestic service providers, but reduces international call costs to as little as £0.03/$0.06 per minute.
Truphone works with the user to save them money. Instead of requiring the user to remember what to do, Truphone Anywhere simply asks whether he/she wants to make a Truphone call whenever an international number is dialled. The user simply accepts, and Truphone connects the call.
“There’s no GSM business tariff that gets close to the prices we can offer BlackBerry users with Truphone for international calling,” said
