Do not touch this version

This is pre-pre-pre Beta version. Downloaded to my phone and since then (about five hours ago) I've been struggling to take it off.

The application acts as a worm on your phone. I had better experience with adwares on my pc.

Thank you truphone for screwing my phone.

Next time, please spend more time to QA.

Dear Justin,

Sorry to hear that you have had a bad experience with the sneak preview of the new Truphone client.

Hi Justin,

Sorry to hear you had a tough time.The Truphone 3.0 application sets up Internet Tel and SIP Profiles and connects to them. So you can't delete them without putting the phone in Offline mode or removing the truphone app as Dave advised. There is definitely no worm involved!

The Truphone app has been heavily tested for months now and is specifically designed not to "screw up" your phone and to be easily removed. If you submit a support request a member of our support team would be happy to help return your phone to it's pre-Truphone state if required.

Regards, Gavin
