Tru launches a range of contract plans which put an end to high roaming and international call charges for voice and data. The new packages are designed to drive UK businesses with an international profile, to switch their main mobile voice and data contracts to Tru, and promises up to 80% savings on their bills in return.
Tru operates in over 220 countries worldwide and is the only mobile operator which includes minutes, voice and data across multiple countries in its bundles - this unique innovation saves users money virtually wherever they go.
Most mobile phone contracts are purchased on the basis of UK rates, however a review of total cost of ownership versus actual bills of international business customers in the UK reveals some stunning findings. Tru has created The three behaviour profiles shown below, these are representative of 'typical' profiles from Tru's investigation of real business bills from UK mobile network operators.

Geraldine Wilson, CEO of Tru, said: "The rates are phenomenal and our ability to serve customers globally is unparalleled." She continued, "These bundles are a clear statement of intent. If you operate internationally, we want your business: switch to Tru."

Local numbers for Tru Countries
- Tru is the only mobile operator to offer multiple mobile numbers on a single phone. Users can add local numbers for any or all of the Tru network countries. Contacts abroad can reach you without having to foot international call charges (whether you're at home or abroad) so business conversations are never cut short. All numbers are always active and Tru's Smart Caller ID cleverly presents the number that's local to the person being called.
