Truphone does not use any mobile network - it uses your WiFi to make VoIP calls across the Internet. So in that respect, it does not matter which network SIM you use - the key is for your Handset to be able to use WiFi and its SIP client (Vodafone-branded Nokia N95 have the SIP client disabled in firmware). If your N95 is proper unbranded Nokia then you will have no trouble using it for Truphone.

The T-Mobile legal action relates to them blocking the the Truphone number prefix - that has been deemed illegal. You could still use a T-Mobile N95 to make a call across Truphone - but until the legal action noone could call you back on your Truphone number if they were a T-Mobile user.

While this is true, the latest release also allows you to connect over 3g. There are many accounts of people using it this way. Also those on 3uk apparently get to use it free over the 3g network if you have the x-series silver and above data plan.

I've not tried this myself, so can't confirm that it's true.
