The company's core business focus is Truphone (launched as Truphone Local Anywhere in January 2010),. It is a GSM SIM-based mobile service which provides bundles of minutes, text and data to business customers for use in an area of 66 countries.

Here, the company has MVNO partnerships with local operators and offers customers additional local mobile phone numbers. This is so users’ contacts can always reach them with a local call, at a local rate. Truphone was originally formed to develop downloadable mobile VoIP applications for smartphones, using the integrated Wi-Fi connection on the device.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Truphone Offers '4G' WiFi Internet Phone Solution )〕 These offered the ability to make free or low cost calls on the mobile device in areas where there is weak or no GSM coverage, and to send Instant Messages to other networks. The first Truphone application released was for Nokia devices. This was followed by applications for Apple iPhone, BlackBerry smartphones, Apple iPod Touch, Android devices and a softphone application for desktop was launched in late 2010. Truphone's SIM based products are entirely separate from the Apps. Truphone does, however, intend to combine the SIM and App accounts for customers in the future. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Truphone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
