Mobile VOIP provider Truphone have today unveiled new flat rate unlimited calling plan tariffs. A tenner a month gets you unlimited calls to landlines in 38 countries, and £25 a month allows you to call both mobiles and landlines in 64 countries.

Rather confusingly, the £10/month landline tariff also includes calls to mobiles in the USA, Canada, China, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Whilst I appreciate price isn’t everything, Skype have been offering a similar package to the landline tariff for a while now (unlimited calls to landlines in 36 countries), at the cheaper price of £7.99/month (including VAT, the headline price on their website is £6.95 but excludes VAT) – with what appears to be a very similar list of countries.

Geraldine Wilson, Truphone’s CEO, soundbited: “Many of our customers have asked us to help simplify their lives by providing the peace of mind that comes with the ability to make unlimited calls to landlines and mobiles and not have to worry about checking balances or fearing bill shock when they receive their statement.”

The cynic in me would say this is a bit ‘too little, too late’ – although it could be timed to hijack some of the glory that Skype will inevitably get tomorrow when they launch their iPhone client (Truphone demonstrated the world’s first iPhone VOIP client at DemoFALL 07 way back in September 2007).
