Global mobile network operator Tru, also known as Truphone, has recently announced the availability of its BlackBerry solution for business customers. The solution offers global mobile packages that remove voice and data roaming charges.

Unfortunately, the solution is only available in the UK, US and Australia for now, but Tru plans to expand the numbers of countries in the future.

In addition to offering local rates across the Tru Network, the company also offers local numbers for any or all of the countries in which Tru operates on a single SIM card.

This allows customers and contacts in the UK, USA and Australia to reach Tru customers without paying any extra roaming call charges.

Geraldine Wilson, CEO of Tru, said, “BlackBerry smartphones are the most popular business devices available and we are thrilled to offer our customers the option to use Tru on their handset of choice.”

“Our mission is to help businesses around the world to thrive, and remove the pain of high roaming charges costing businesses a fortune. With our business tariffs you can save over 80% within the Tru network, and between 30 and 60 percent when you also travel throughout 30 countries in Europe,” concluded Wilson.

Furthermore, customers will have the option to include either the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) or the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS), or both, on their device.

BlackBerry service plans offered by Tru include:

- Data, voice and text bundles which can be used across Tru’s Network providing over 80% savings on published operator roaming rates;

- European voice bundles usable across 30 countries offering savings of between 30% and 60% on calls between Europe and the rest of the Tru Network;

- Unlimited free email access within the Tru Network;

- Local numbers for any or all of the countries within the Tru Network, making it easy for contacts to stay in touch without footing international call charges.
