Where have you come from? (Your technology background)
The story started in 2006 when James Tagg, the inventor and founder of Tru launched the world’s first downloadable Wi-Fi calling app for mobile phones. The Tru SIM service was born in early 2010, utilizing more of James’s patented inventions. Tru’s heritage in the mobile internet telephone means that we have never been restricted by national borders and from the early start were operating internationally.
Simplifying international life is our reason for being.
