UK Mobile VoIP Operator Truphone Raises $32.7M

London's Truphone has raised $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 $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.
