Simon Marks, Corporate communications manager, T-Mobile stated:
It is a complete red herring that we are anti-VoIP. Truphone has some of the highest termination rates in the industry. We feel they are not fair and reasonable given their costs and we are trying to sort of reasonable rates.
James Tagg, Chief executive, Truphone reacted to this by stating:
T-Mobile will argue that it is not 'blocking' Truphone but is merely negotiating on price. T-Mobile receives 35p per minute from its customers but is offering only 0.21p per minute to Truphone even when Truphone's costs are 9p per minute to terminate the call. T-Mobile is blocking our numbers unless we accept this loss-making offer and, since T-Mobile is the only company that can route calls from its customers, it has a complete veto on the Truphone service.
It's more of a battle between David and Goliath and is highly appreciable of Truphone to promote a technology which stands to benefit the masses a lot. Now it needs to be seen what shape this battle takes.
