Nimbuzz Launches Mobile VOIP, IM Solution

Nimbuzz has announced the India launch of an application to provide mobile users and online communities free calls, and advanced chat facilities. Nimbuzz offers free mobile VoIP calling, conference calling, instant messaging, chat and group chat, and photo and file sending across multiple IM communities, including Skype, MSN, Google Talk, Yahoo!, AIM, Jabber and ICQ, plus 23 social networks, including Facebook and Myspace.

The new Nimbuzz mobile VoIP application works worldwide on Nokia Symbian Series 60 devices when connected using a 3G or Wifi network (with a Windows Mobile offering for release in June). For GPRS/EDGE connections, or when using Java-enabled phones, Nimbuzz also offers its ‘hybrid-VoIP’ solution (as used by Skype) – for making international mobile calls at local dial-in cost – in as many as 50 countries.

“Our users drive our development – so even with what we think is a great product, it always feels like we’re in beta. The truth is, we wouldn’t be innovating fast enough if we weren’t,” adds Tariq. “With users from 176 countries – or 90% of the world – it’s easy to see why. There is remarkable consumer appetite out there, worldwide, and the industry tailwinds are picking up pace. We are grateful for our pre-launch momentum and look forward to announcing some exciting new products, features and strategic partnerships with key operators and social networks over the summer.”
