of course.. makes sense

Bye all. roland.hanbury@truphone.com if you want more...

Yes - call drops - just as it does on GSM when you go out of GSM range!

Alec ... what is your Truphone number?

thanks everyone

Thanks, Alec

k, ty Roland

Thanks guys.

@Ian: Yes.

Thanks!

@GREG: Curious to understand where and how your service provider contacts would be of value to us in the AMERICAS - which is my main focus

Thanks

Very nice, thank you Alec, James and Roland!

so the call just drops?

Handoff: Industry people always ask about this, customers never do!

Now to head away from my house (with WiFi) to see how the GSM side works.

Customers in countries in order of size : UK, US, Italy, Canada, India, Germany, Poland, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Spain... Total 152 countries

My self working with various application and service providers.

Good stuff.

had to go onto my 830 Nokia call, sorry

US SMS now working well AFAIK - local gateways etc.

Free calling to 40 countries was a launch offer, and as you say expires soon...

ROFL

@Greg: We can do this, but we actually don't log that much that isn't call or SMS related at the moment. e.g. we don't log location.

I agree Jonathan. It's a complete service...

Although I obviously haven't been able to use Truphone Anywhere yet but it appears to address the single biggest issue I could see with Truphone - didn't work outside WiFi. Strikes me as the most significant development to date.

Are you monitoring user behavior in the back ground? Key presses, affinity, location correlations etc.

well said Roland!

My experience of startup exits is that they are hardly ever the obvious buyer!

Truphone 4 installed on my N95.

Who is your likely head to head competiton in this segment. Fring? This begs who do you exit to?

Data SIM likely to have good rates in a selected range of countries (~40). Data rates comparable to local prepay, not better.

I've only been able to use it a couple of times. It doesn't like me apparently.

I love Truphone. Been using it for a year now.

Yay Jonathan!

V4 now installed on my E51. Looking good.

@Greg: Not really. It sits there on the wish list but no signs of getting to the top at the moment :-)

Any plans for multiple media, mostly video, photo's and graphics. Not a priority as much as curiosity.

Thank you :)

What was the patent for?

Yes, Sim4Travel is usable in the US

how about "crumbs!"

"Crikey"... a word we don't hear too often on this side of the pond. :-)

....and in the US? Is Sim4Travel usable in the US?

Truphone website out of maintenance now - http://www.truphone.com/

Its a sim card with callback to save on roaming<br/>Willi

@Wilhelm: Some other countries, and more to come

What is sim4travel? Simply mobility?

Roland,<br/>is Sim4Travel limited to UK numbers at present?

James, do you need an iPhone client?

Yes, upgrade should be easier than ever

I did :)

can't get back in Sheryl?

We also now make money via Sim4Travel calls (callback travel SIM)

Thank you

sheesh skype booted me!

Got it!

I Have a handset problem.

Truphone SMS works very well. Much cheaper for international SMS.

Truphone charges for calls, on a Prepay basis.

How does Truphone make money? You may have siad but I did not hear.

4G networks *could* be WiMAX, but also could be LTE.

Just waiting for the handset support ;-)

Hmmm... WiMAX does *NOT* equal "4G".

See T-MOBILE!

First part: We can update the access numbers from the server if they get blocked

Rocketalk once

T-Mobile blocked

Great question. Can the carriers turn them off?

Hi Roland. Is v4 on the website yet?

echo goes away

How do the carries react to this when you have interests in retail handset sales?

Yes, there is a menu item that tells you the call-through number so you can add to the my 5 list

muted I am

I'm muted

we have nasty echo coming over..I'm muted

We need someone to mute

Bad Echo!!!!

who's echoing?

echo on the line

We need to dispense with area codes and long-distance charges

But only if they SIM swap James!

I note the mention of both voice and SMS routing over the TruPhone IP connection? is this true?

As James gets himself in potential trouble...

Truphone.com down for the 4.0 release including Truphone Anywhere :-)

Yes, Alec, your solution is to get another carrier. ;-)

NIce tune

Truphone site: "Truphone.com is currently undergoing system maintenance"

James, FYI, if you put "http://" at the beginning of the URLs, Alec's software will turn it into a clickable link.

♫ Konference Karaoke?

It could be the Squawk Box theme song for today.

www.truphone.com/moo

Oh, no, is James going to sing?

;)

I'm on only until 830, but have nothing to say

They're not popular in North America because we're a wireless backwater.

If you would like to speak, just let me know

Roland - I muted your line. Was getting some echo from it.

LOL

okay, 19 now
