Truphone's unique global infrastructure lets international businesses become local in more countries so subscribers can use their phones to call, text or download data just as they do at home.  Business people can stay connected, improve their productivity and reduce their international roaming costs, all while using their phones to conduct business as usual.

Truphone has identified Houston as an ideal market because of its leadership in international exports and oil and gas. Houston's international export market role is supported by numbers from the Greater Houston Partnership 2012 Economic Development Report.

Tim Raby, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Truphone, Americas, announced the new sales Houston hub.  "Truphone is an ideal telecom solution for companies that conduct business internationally," said Raby.  "Truphone offers them a compelling alternative to traditional providers, particularly when it comes to international voice and data usage. Our mobile innovations enable international businesses to stay connected to their global contacts with high quality and affordable rates, whether they are at home or abroad."

The company has U.S. headquarters near Research Triangle Park here, as well as a research and engineering center in Newark, N.J., and its U.S. operations center in Cleveland.
