Truphone is a service that allows you to make really cheap phone calls using voice over ip technology. You’ve been doing it for years on Skype, but now you can do it on your mobile phone. This makes operators metaphorically crap their pants because you can easily buy a SIM card with an unlimited data package and ignore these things previously known as minutes or per text message charges.
Operators don’t want to be known as pipes, but at the end of the day I really wish they would just stop spending all this money on advertising locked handsets and contracts and pour it into the network.

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.
