From today, owners of the latest generation of Wi-Fi-equipped mobile phones can make ultra-low cost calls from any of The Cloud’s 7,500 public Wi-Fi hotspots in the UK.

Truphone is free software that enables Wi-Fi-equipped Nokia mobile phones to make internet-rate phone calls (VoIP calls) over Wi-Fi connections. When the phone is not in Wi-Fi range it reverts to being a normal mobile phone, so people need only one phone.

An agreement between Truphone and The Cloud means a Truphone-enabled mobile phone can now make internet-rate calls whenever it’s in range of one of The Cloud’s hotspots, ensuring its owner is making the cheapest call possible. No passwords or credit card details are required.
