Truphone Expands Services to Range of Nokia Devices

Truphone has announced that its VoIP and call-through services now support an additional 11 Nokia handsets.

The mobile VoIP operator first offered its VoIP-only services on Nokia devices but went on to include the iPhone and Android platforms.

With Nokia's Ovi Store having improved the distribution channel Truphone now sees the opportunity to update its Nokia offerings.

It has had great success in both the iPhone App Store and Android Marketplace - something it hopes to repeat on the S60 platform.

The company offers both VoIP (Truphone WiFi calling) and call-though (Truphone Anywhere) technologies.

With the addition of the 11 new handsets, Truphone is now compatible on 26 Nokia devices.

Of those, software for 14 of the Truphone-compatible devices can now be downloaded from Nokia's new Ovi store, with the software for 11 of the remaining 12 new devices to be added to the Ovi store soon.

The new Truphone-enabled Nokia devices are:

* N96
* N78
* N85 (also VoIP enabled)
* N79 (also VoIP enabled)
* 5630 (also VoIP enabled)
* 5800
* 5320
* 6210
* 6220
* 6650
* E63


All the new handsets are Truphone Anywhere-capable and, in addition, three of the handsets - the N85, N79 and 5630 - are also compatible with the original Truphone Wi-Fi calling service.
