Owners of Wi-Fi-equipped Nokia smartphones will be able to make free international calls to landlines in 40 countries throughout April, May and June, Truphone announced today. The announcement extends and enlarges Truphone’s current price promotion [ending on March 31st], during which UK customers have been able to make free calls to landlines in 40 countries and all other customers have been able to make free calls to the USA and Canada.
“We’re delighted to be making it so attractive for people to try internet telephony on their mobile handset, instead of being tied to their computer,” said James Tagg, Truphone’s CEO. “The convenience of a normal mass market cellular phone and free international calls is an unbeatable combination for the consumer.”
Countries to which any on-net Truphone user worldwide may now make free calls to landlines include the USA (landlines and mobiles), China and Hong Kong (landlines and mobiles), Australia, New Zealand and most European Union countries.
Tariffs to some paid-for numbers may have changed from the previous promotional period. Truphone’s full tariff document is available at www.truphone.com.
