New Bundles From Tru end Exorbitant Roaming Charges - Forever

LONDON, May 19, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    - Up to 80% Savings for UK Businesses With an International Profile[1]

    Tru, the world's only intelligent global mobile operator, today 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.

    - 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

call charges (whether you're at home or abroad) so business conversations are
