I live in a very rural area and not many cell phone carriers do well out here. Since I am also a wireless isp I offer service in 3 different towns over a very wide area and I can hookup easily with truphone to all my access points and quality is as good or better then any of the cell carriers whose signals do not reach out here. Bottom line on truphone is its easy to install and the easiest of all of them to use and has the best sound quality of any other sip phone programs I have tried previously. I use mine on the Nokia N80IE all the time, its the best. I have had truphone for almost a month now and i would not be without it.

If you are the lucky owner of one of the millions of compatible WiFi capable GSM handsets Truphone will bring you the ability to make and receive telephone calls over the internet in addition to the somewhat more expensive GSM infrastructure. Calls from PSTN to Truphone numbers are delivered over WiFi if the end user is within range of a normal private Access Point, or within a commercial hotspot; if not within range the call is handed off over the conventional GSM networks. This means that handsets work in many places that the mobile networks do not reach - my house (370 years old and in a beautiful rural setting in southern Wiltshire) is a 'non-comms' zone for GSM networks - but thanks to Truphone I can make and receive calls easily and without frying my brain with my Nokia N80 handset!<br /> <br /> What I really love about the offering is that in order to do this I do not have to carry around another handset - I only need one - and this is a sexy, fully featured device with e-mail push from our corporate Exchange server, a 3 Mega pixel camera, quad-band GSM, UMTS, FM radio, Bluetooth, MP3 player (with 2 GB flash RAM), full polyphonic, .WAV and .MP3 ring tones, video conferencing, address book (that syncs with Exchange over WiFi), podcasting application, live streaming, uPNP....... and I can use the IR to remote control the TV too!<br /> <br /> Oh - and at the moment there is also the FREE calls to 40 countries - over 2 BILLION PSTN phones - that can be called free of charge from my Nokia..... Best of all, it does not cost anything to sign up for the service and there is no monthly recurring charge. Probably a good enough reason to buy a sexy WiFi equipped phone? What does Truphone bring?

Truphone has been available for less than four months, and as yet nobody else offers the group of services that you so accurately describe. For sure others will catch up eventually, but by then Truphone will have moved on and will offer lots of additional functionality. I wish I could say more, but my Marketing Director would kill me...

It's always tempting to look under the "product" and "technology" stones for the value, but in this case I think it's really a case of marketing an existing capability to users (and making it simple and painless enough that they'll tell their friends). As pundits, it's nice to find something "clever", but the customers just want something that works packaged appropriately and given some distribution woompf.
