Truphone is a fantastic alternative if you don’t like cell phone monthly fees. It works fantastic almost anywhere. Great also for IM. I give the company an A. And I’m a teacher.

Compared to Truphone, Betamax/Voipstunt/Freecall has *much* better rates, dial-through numbers worldwide – allowing phonebook integration, great voice quality and works from any phone. That’s what I use.

@ Alex van Someren, you might be closer at the actual situation, but StartupMeme reported on the web, “EQO our Road ahead is closed”

http://startupmeme.com/eqo-our-road-ahead-is-closed/

So I am not sure if the news is correct but it is all over the web.

I guess in tech crunch times it even more true: “x million users x ZERO = ZERO”, so it is going to be interesting to see how these apps play out. At the end economic principles have to be in place to pay for developer, marketing, product development and management; the best example is Google, once you are profitable you can do a lot of good things. So I guess ((truphone)) with Gold Standard alternative Mobile Calling Apps for so many platforms now is a great example, every additional user allows the company to develop on more platforms and enable a better mobile calling community as an alternative Global Mobile Voice Provider. The world of local Mobile Phone Operators was the start, ((truphone)) is a true Global Alternative and the number of devices you are able to use truely use ((truphone)) on is growing by the day.

Equally I see the first wave of apps in Java, but when you really look at the core you have to do a lot more to enable WiFi and GSM calling centrally inside a device. A lot harder than the great apps so far launched from ebuddy, Mig33, etc. but equally a lot more useful in day to day utilization. I rely truely on my ((truphone)) apps during my business calls.

Disclosure: We are an early backer of ((truphone))

Alex,

I’m surprised at your comment that EQO has shut down, as I was speaking with Bill Tam the CEO the other day and he seemed to be very much in business. What made you say this?

Just to clarify Mike’s article, Truphone has built a very clever system that allows us to offer cheap calls for our customers. But these calls are not subsidised in any way, shape or form. Geraldine Wilson, CEO Truphone

The issue is that you can’t actually install it!
My touch has the latest software but, when I try and install it I get the message..
“Application Not Compatible”
“This application can only be used on an iPhone”
