Truphone now charging. - any alternatives?
Hi, I used to use Truphone on my n95, over my home wifi network, or any wifi network for that matter, to make free landline calls. Truphone has recently stopped working on my phone, I just get a message saying I do not have enough credit, whenever I try to make a call. I checked on their website and it turns out they're now charging for landline calls!
So, to get to the point, does anyone know of an alternative voip service I can use on my n95 to make free (or very cheap) landline wifi/voip calls?
Thanks.

Unlikely to find anything for completely free because it costs the company to provide the service. Truphone were offering it as a loss leader to try and get people using their service.
You could use Fring with a Skype account, which will be £0.014 per minute unless you get a flat calling plan - you can have unlimited UK calling for £2.24/month.0 -
Truphone is just a SIP provider - and there are plenty of these.
Vyke offer calls to the UK for $0.04US/call.0 -
Thanks guys, I'll have a look at those. I have used vyke before, but I just used the free credit and moved on to truphone when it was free. But neither of the above are exactly expensive so I'll give them a try. Thanks again!0
