Review of Truphone

[Bossman]

I have to agree. And their rates outside the EU and and may be their "home" countries are ridiculous! I am actually surprised they and maxroam are still around, especially with the dwindling EU customer base.

I just realized I have about $21 on my tru sim. I have relatives visiting me from the UK at the end of the year. So, they can can make use of it.

Not sure what I'll do with my $70 in credit on 2 Tru sim cards and VOIP account (which doesn't integrate....)

Their refusal to give me EU roaming rates is what has made me decide to ditch them. Apparently I am not being treated like a UK native which is the point of all there approach.

I have relatives in the UK and my best friend lives in Oz, I would like for them to work. I should be an easy client and I will spend money for convenience. I am not out to pinch every penny, but I am not a sucker either.
