Truphone subscribers are now being offered free or cheap VoIP calls over the cellular network when they are away from Wi-Fi hot spots. The mobile VoIP solution uses a unique set-up to save customers money.

According to ComputerWorld:

“We’ve put together our mobile numbers and interconnect, with SIM4travel’s home location register,” said James Tagg, CEO of Truphone. The company has its own number range, which has enabled it to act as a mobile operator, and win against operators, including T-Mobile, which challenged this. In April, it raised another $33.6 million in venture funding to add to about $25 million, which it raised in 2007.

The idea of mobile VoIP is gaining ground in the U.K., with Australian operator Freshtel Pty. Ltd. launching a trial backed by a Tesco, and with a “buy one get one free” offer. Freshtel uses a VoIP client similar to the one that Truphone is installing on Nokia E and N series phones, and operates on any Wi-Fi.
