When I dial a long distance number, it asks me if I want to use truphone or GSM. I choose Truphone and the call goes through GSM to the TruPhone service and then they dial the long distance number. It's back end processing!!! I never would have figured that on my own. I'm glad I found this site!</p> najeeb is right!

90% of my phone bill used to be international calls, which truphone reduced by at least 90%, saving me hundreds of pounds monthly. Sure, I could have used Skype or other methods – but truth is: I did not want to change my normal behaviour of simply-dialing-from-the-address-book.
