Vyke re-launches Mobile VoIP via Nokia Download Access for new users direct from handsets

Vyke Communications plc (AIM: VYKE) announces today that it has upgraded its Mobile Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) service, in conjunction with Nokia’s Download! store.

Vyke users can now download, create an account and start calling directly from their handset via Nokia’s on-device ‘Download’ store. The service will initially be available to customers in the United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

The improved facility includes numerous new features, primarily the focus on secure Vyke account creation which removes the need for users to access www.vyke.com to create their account, providing quicker and more simple access.

Vyke’s mobile VoIP software is found in the Download store, which is located in the main menu of compatible Nokia mobile phones. Once the download is started, the software installation and set-up process takes approximately 2 minutes to create the user’s Vyke account and top it up with $1 of free calling credit.

Jan Christian Berger, CMO, commented:
“We are delighted to offer this greatly improved service with Nokia. Our new account creation and top-up features enable any new user to make mobile VoIP calls in just a matter of minutes. With access to our service directly from any The Cloud hotspot and our $0.04 per call and $0.00 per minute pricing for calls to landlines in Western Europe or any number in North America, the value we are creating for users is very compelling.”
