Tru unveils new international business tariffs

‘Elite’ business plans offer savings of more than 80 per cent on voice and data bills

LONDON, 19 January 2011 – Tru, the world’s first global mobile network, today launched its Tru for Business Elite voice and data plans. The new intercontinental bundles of minutes, data and texts can be used across all Tru countries (1), saving businesses over 80 per cent on their international roaming bills.

With half (48 per cent) of UK organisations having lost business through not staying in touch with colleagues or clients when abroad³, the new tariffs help businesses to strike a balance between cost cutting and the need to stay connected wherever they are in the world.

The innovative Tru for Business Elite plans include:

• Data, minutes and texts which can be used across all Tru Countries providing over 80% savings on published business roaming rates
• European minutes which can be used across 30 countries offering savings of between 30% and 60% on calls between Europe and the rest of Tru’s Countries
• Unlimited free email access for BlackBerry® customers within Tru Countries
• Local numbers for any or all Tru Countries, making it easy for contacts to stay in touch without footing international call charges

Geraldine Wilson, CEO of Tru, said: “Our mission is to help businesses around the world to thrive by removing the high roaming charges associated with using mobile devices abroad. With Tru there aren’t any codes to dial, no SIMs to swap or complex call back systems. We are a full GSM service which doesn’t punish you for doing business abroad – it’s as simple as that.”
