TruPhone Unlimited Calling Plans : Calling Rates Review

As the calling rates to various countries are decreasing, voip companies are coming with new plans and offers to attract customers. It is no longer a standard calling rates (as offered by calling cards), however it is a complete blend and suite of plans. The most popular and accepted plans by these companies is some unlimited calling deal. Interesting thing is Mobile Voip is no longer behind.

Mobile voip companies have also started offering unlimited calling plans. In layman terms, Mobile Voip is just using internet calling directly from your Mobile phone. You just need to download some voip software to your mobile phone, you need internet connection (wifi, gprs, edge etc) and then you will be able to make cheap voip calls directly from your mobile. Good thing is that you can even make free calls. This removes the need to be attached to a computer for making internet calls. Its simply phone to phone calling similar to your telecom provider but with lot cheaper rates.

One of the highly popular mobile voip service is TruPhone and in this post we will be looking at its calling rates, unlimited calling packages and other interesting plans.


Though you can read our review on TruPhone on this page, however a brief update on its usage. In order to use Truphone you need to download their Voip application. It works great with Wifi and SIP. So, if your country have many hotspots (free wifi zone like USA, Canada) then this application is great for you. With Gprs it works but as the internet speed is poor, you will experience poor voice quality. Most of the smartphone including iPhone, Android, Blackberry are supported. Even the tablets like iPad and Android Tablet are also supported.

Update : TruPhone without Internet
When you cannot connect to Wi-Fi or 3 or 4G, you can still make low-cost international calls in your home country. The Truphone Anywhere feature connects your call to Truphone via your local network.

TruStandard Package

It is the basic and simple package, you are not paying anything monthy and standard pay as you go rates apply here. For example, Calls to India at 2p per min, Calls to Pakistan at 15p per minute.
I would not recommend this pay as you go service by TruPhone as it surely costly.
