Truphone unstable

Does anybody else have problems using truphone, I can only seem to connect about 60 or 70 % of the time, and after a couple of calls my phone slows down to a crawl, its so slow that I am unable to use it at all and have to keep turning it off, then when back on have to quickly try and set wifi in sip settings to when needed before truphone starts, otherwise the phone goes real slow again.

I now only use truphone when I need to make the odd free calls, because its just too unstable and unpredictable to use as a serious alternative to anything else.

Yes, my N80 slows down after using Truphone and eventually reboots itself.

If they dont sort it then I will use another client, I am looking at challenger at the moment, they give you the username and password so that you can set the phone up yourself, they say its only compatible with the E series, but I reckon it will work with the N series, so will give it a go see, I can also set this up to work on my pc with xlite, I have a local personal pstn number for both the UK and France which I can forward to any Sip number (or other number) free of charge, and have also registered a personal sip number which I can forward to any other sip number, this way it doesnt matter if I keep changing sip clients, I just change the sip forwarding on both numbers.

The only reason I am using truphone now is because of the free calls, I dont like the fact that anybody calling truphone has to pay a mobile rate number, this should be a local call charge not a 15p per minute call charge.

lol Truphone were on bbc news.

They couldnt get through either and apparently spent ages. Someone phoned in from truphone at the end!
