Truphone today announced Truphone Out+, a new feature that enables free and VoIP-rate calls to be made from a customer’s existing phone number. Truphone Out+ also brings carrier pre-select to Truphone customers, ensuring free Truphone-to-Truphone calls are set up whenever possible.
Truphone Out+ is accessible to new customers from countries where Truphone does not yet provide local mobile numbers. Currently this means countries outside of the UK and USA. For these new customers Truphone Out+ means that a customer’s existing phone number is now displayed as their CLI when they make a Truphone call.
Carrier pre-select is achieved transparently: when a Truphone call is made the Truphone’s servers recognise if the ‘ordinary’ telephone number being called is linked to a Truphone account. If the destination user is online, a free Truphone-to-Truphone call is setup.
Truphone is a mobile operator for the internet age, delivering a UK-based service accessible from around the world. Truphone Out+ is an evolution of the Truphone service.
All existing Truphone customers can continue to make free and low-cost mobile VoIP calls over Wi-Fi and the internet. Truphone-to-Truphone calls are always free.
James Tagg, Truphone’s chief executive officer, said: “Truphone Out+ will encourage access to the Truphone service from countries where we have not yet introduced local number ranges. At a stroke we have massively increased the number of people who can access and benefit from the Truphone service.”

This is fantastic for people outside of the US and UK. I think this will open up Truphone to countries where Nokia is extremely popular like India and China.
Now Truphone if your listening, when will we get local area codes in the US? This would make Truphone ready for business in my book. Or maybe I can use my GrandCentral number with Truphone, now that would be really great.

You can use your GrandCentral number with Truphone already. That’s the smallest problem. Just type in your Truphone number as one of the forward numbers. I already did that months ago.
