Business VoIP

Nimbuzz announced recently the release of its “most comprehensive VoIP application for the iPhone (News - Alert).” What a statement! With free Wi-Fi calls to instant messaging buddies already available, the new VoIP app’s added features include the introduction of a dial-pad and the ability to make VoIP calls to landlines and mobiles via Skype (News - Alert)-Out, and Nimbuzz's major SIP provider partners including Gizmo5, Vyke, and SIPgate over Wi-Fi - effectively turning the iPod touch into an iPhone. iPhone users without Wi-Fi connection can make VoIP calls using Nimbuzz Dial-Up VoIP in over 50 countries.

 

"The fact that Nimbuzz adds a new user around every 4 seconds is partly due to our successful iPhone application launched in November last year," says Evert Jaap Lugt, CEO of Nimbuzz. "We are a mass-market lifestyle application and are keen to ensure we keep up to date with the needs of the hyper-connected, so this update reflects initial feedback from our users."

 

The company bridges the iPhone VoIP gap by allowing VoIP calls over 3G via its Dial-Up VoIP option in over 50 countries. iPhone users can call any mobile or landlines, at significantly reduced costs, especially those who will use the app for international calls. This is done by dialing a local access number that connects to anywhere in the world via Nimbuzz VoIP servers.

 

New VoIP call options are available via Nimbuzz's global affiliate SIP partners: Gizmo5 (News - Alert), Vyke, SIPgate, and 15 other global players. These additional call networks are seamlessly integrated into the interface to use Nimbuzz for cheap, international, VoIP calls to landlines and mobile phones over Wi-Fi.

 

Another feature allows Twitter updates via the Personal Message option. Popular communities, including Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ, Google (News - Alert) Talk, AIM, and social networks such as Facebook and MySpace are already supported with call and chat options.

 

Says Michael Robertson (News - Alert), CEO of Gizmo5: "We are excited to promote Nimbuzz for bringing Gizmo to the iPhone, and profit from Nimbuzz's impressive growth and value add services."
