Truphone now available via The Cloud’s 7,500 UK wifi hotspots

Link: Truphone press office

From today, owners of the latest generation of Wi-Fi-equipped mobile phones can make ultra-low cost calls from any of The Cloud’s 7,500 public Wi-Fi hotspots in the UK.

Truphone is free software that enables Wi-Fi-equipped Nokia mobile phones to make internet-rate phone calls (VoIP calls) over Wi-Fi connections. When the phone is not in Wi-Fi range it reverts to being a normal mobile phone, so people need only one phone.

An agreement between Truphone and The Cloud means a Truphone-enabled mobile phone can now make internet-rate calls whenever it’s in range of one of The Cloud’s hotspots, ensuring its owner is making the cheapest call possible. No passwords or credit card details are required.

Ah well that rocks, big time. Very cool indeed.
