I have been a user of Truphone for what seems like over a year now, originlly on my Nokia E61 and now on my E61i. It really shines in so many ways. I call myself a VOIP advocate because I promote Truphone so much. It has really worked well for me in multiple situations. I usually use it in my office and also take advantage of the free international phone calls seeing as a good portion of my calls these days are overseas. I have also used it a good deal while I was traveling recently to the other side of the pond. I was able to make phone calls to the US as if I was stateside. I was also able to give out a US number for friends and family to contact me. Best of all Truphone has made some changes upon my request to make it inter operable with GrandCentral. This made it possible for clients to contact me via GrandCentral (my work number) while I was overseas because I forwarded the Truphone # to GrandCentral.

Basically this is a fanboy piece because Truphone has saved me a few times. So thanks to them and all the folks that work for Truphone.

I got to sit in on an interview in Tel Aviv with Boaz Zilberman (Chief Architect), Neal Fullman (PR Director), and another very nice gentleman. I feel bad, I can’t remember his name, but he was also in PR for fring. I was very impressed with what they were telling us and with how they said fring works. So me being the huge fan of IM and VOIP decided to download the program as soon as I got out of the meeting. That being said I got back to my brother-in-laws house and downloaded fring to my Nokia E61i. I have been hooked ever since. Ewan MacLeod of SMS Text News (who was nice enough to bring me along to the interview prior to Unlimited Drinks) is also now hooked on fring.

I keep using it and keep liking it even more. Today I made a few calls over Skype and lots of instant messaging. fring rocks.

Keep up the good work fring Team and thanks for a great service!

Update: Full review to come.

Well I’m taking off tomorrow on vacation for nearly a month.  I haven’t been on a vacation for this length of time in years.  I’m really looking forward to decompressing.  But in true form, it will be a working vacation.  I’m hoping to have an Unlimited Drinks event in Tel Aviv.  Anyways, I must pack seeing as that I leave the house in less then 12 hours.
