Introduces carrier pre-select to mobile communication
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 09/07/07 -- Truphone
today announced Truphone Out+, a new feature that enables free and
VoIP-rate calls to be made from a customer's existing phone number.
Truphone Out+ also brings carrier pre-select to Truphone customers,
ensuring free Truphone-to-Truphone calls are set up whenever
possible.


Core facts

1. Truphone Out+ is accessible to new customers from countries where
Truphone does not yet provide local mobile numbers. Currently this
means countries outside of the UK and USA.

2. For these new customers Truphone Out+ means that a customer's
existing phone number is now displayed as their CLI when they
make a Truphone call.

3. Carrier pre-select is achieved transparently: when a Truphone
call is made the Truphone's servers recognise if the 'ordinary'
telephone number being called is linked to a Truphone account.
If the destination user is online, a free Truphone-to-Truphone call
is setup.

4. Truphone is a mobile operator for the internet age, delivering a
UK-based service accessible from around the world. Truphone Out+ is
an evolution of the Truphone service. Truphone Out+ will be evolved
to a full Truphone service as and when one or more of the following
conditions are met:

- number portability becomes possible in a country;
- E.164 compliance is implemented in that country;
- Truphone introduces a local number range in that country.
Truphone is actively working with national regulators and operator
partners around the world to bring about one or more of these
conditions.

5. A customer can opt to make any call over GSM rather than via
Truphone, if they prefer to do so.

6. Truphone Out+ is not yet available for existing Truphone customers.

7. All existing Truphone customers can continue to make free and low-cost
mobile VoIP calls over Wi-Fi and the internet. Truphone-to-Truphone
calls are always free.

James Tagg, Truphone's chief executive officer, said:
- "Truphone Out+ will encourage access to the Truphone service from
countries where we have not yet introduced local number ranges. At a
stroke we have massively increased the number of people who can
access and benefit from the Truphone service."
