Ok, I'll wait. Let's see what they do within the next days

They're probably importing the correct settings (balance, expiry date of additional numbers) user by user.

This is now much more competitive, though Piranha is still cheaper for outgoing, esp. from Europe to rest of world. If you don't mind call-back system.

Surprised that there was no publicity about this on Tru's site or Trutower. Maybe they didn't want to highlight their earlier price discrimination policy!

TruTower has a small piece on it.

yeah, I sent a note to Josh, who then used Truphone's phrase "reduced slightly" - a bit odd when the reduction for non-EU residents is substantial!

Yeah, that's one of the necessary evils of being a news source: taking the official story over the unofficial one. Thanks for the note!

It seems that the whole situation is back to normality. My credit is now the same I had on the previous platform.

Really a good news. Looking forward to seeing the local rates.

Too bad!

This has been in the terms a long time.

This was valid until december 2011, when they announced that they would have removed the 10€/month fee to keep the local rates.

Truphone are starting to offer multi-country affordable bundles, but unfortunately it's limited to UK businesses. I hope it's just the first step in the right direction
