Mobile VoIP's Truphone Raises Further Gbp16.5M
London's Truphone has raised Gbp16.5M ($32.7M) in Series B funding led by undisclosed investors, who were backed by by return backers Burda Digital Ventures, Independent News & Media, Eden Ventures and Wellington Partners Venture Capital.
Truphone is a mobile operator whereby you can get free or low-cost mobile phone calls via the internet.
Truphone recently bought SIM4travel, which it says will enable it to offer low-cost GSM calls worldwide via a travel SIM.
In December 2006, Truphone raised £12.5M ($24.5M) in Series A funding, which was the largest Series A venture funding of 2006 for the tech sector.
Truphone has some very well funded competitors including Jajah and Gizmo.
