Review of Truphone

kctopitz · 02-07-2014, 12:27

Confirmed the free incoming calls here in Germany last night. I'll definitely be using my Truphone SIM more, especially in the US. Interesting strategy they have going focusing on these select "popular" countries, a list which will hopefully grow longer. For now, Piranha still has them beat (only slightly) for the rest of Europe, and far more so globally, where Truphone still charges over $1/minute for calls (outgoing and incoming) in many countries.

I am not so sure this is a strategy, as much as a necessity in that these were the deals they were able to get and either through uncooperative local providers or not having tried hard enough yet to get other providers signed up to the plan. They have been quite open about this strategy since they started and things have just not happened. I am pretty sure it is incumbent local carriers who have blocked Truphone's progress.
