Recently many VOIP companies have been offering free call offers and now Mobile VOIP companies seem to join the FREE VOIP Bash. I am sure the consumers are 2x happy to see more and more companies offering free calls to their favorite destinations.
Truphone, a leading Mobile VOIP company and close competitior to Fring has announced that they have extended the FREE Calls offer to 40 countries till Decemember 2007. Under this offer, all truphone (old and new) users will be able to make calls to landlines/mobiles of these 40 countries. That means its not restricted to truphone to truphone free calls. That's a great news.
Truphone has recently won a court case against T-Mobile who were blocking access to truphone services. Thats was great victory for Truphone and overall mobile VOIP industry which set to grow faster than residential VOIP in the next couple of years. This also proves that mobile VOIP are no more taken as "Startup Ideas".
This truphone offer is valid till December 2007 for Free calls however users will have to signup before 30 Sept 2007 in order to make free calls.
The following countries are supported under Free Call offer: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil (Rio de Janeiro & Sao Paulo only), Canada, Chile, China (Landline and Mobile), Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Guam, Hong Kong (Landline & Mobile), Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Korea (South), Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico (Guadalajara, Mexico City & Monterrey only), Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Panama City, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Russia (Moscow Central & St Petersburg only), Singapore (Landline & Mobile), Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, US Virgin Islands, USA (Landline & Mobile)
Besides free calling, truphone has some great features such as Truphone SMS which is free across the world to another truphone user. They have a patented technology called SMS over IP. I strongly suggest everyone to try that.
The only majoy downside of truphone is they only support limited phones and it seems they seriously in love with Nokia. It seems that definately keeps them away from the real market. I hope they take this issue seriously and start designing their newer version more compatible with other brands and newer phones.
If you are already on truphone then start making free calls, if you never heard of them its probably a good time to register at Truphone
