Nimbuzz launched an all-in-one VoIP solution on mobile, PC, and Web on May 15. One can transfer and send photographs, files across multiple IM communities such as Skype, MSN, Google Talk, Yahoo!, AIM, Jabber, and social networks like Facebook and Myspace.

Tariq Dag Khan, CEO for Nimbuzz said, "Nimbuzz is a big win for consumers and network operators. Currently, we are in the process of building some important relationships with operators and strategic partners across Europe, and now have initiated this application for Indian customers."

Nimbuzz mobile VoIP application works on Internet-enabled mobile phones with Java, including BlackBerry, and Nokia S60 phones. It also offers "hybrid-VoIP" solution (as used by Skype), which allows to make international mobile calls at local dial-in cost.

"Once the users download the Nimbuzz application for mobile and registers as a new user, contacts from their selected IM communities are aggregated into a single contact list. It also displays icons indicating real-time "presence" such as, which contacts are online or offline, and from which communities," added Khan.

Speaking on the technology aspects, Khan commented that the Nimbuzz application is internally developed, but GIPS and voxbone are some key components that have also been included. It features free phonebook backup and restoring data with free buzz notifications. Also includes features such as Web calling, conference calling, IM, group chat, and chat rooms.

The application allows mobile operators a way to sell data plans, and to reduce costs, increasing Average Revenue per User (ARPU). On the social networking front, Nimbuzz brings voice and mobile chat. The new six-button communicator widget brings free calling, chat, text, and voice messaging, and personal websites or blogs. There are more than 30 download access points for Nimbuzz.

VoIP solution has already attracted more than 500,000 registered users with 25% active per month. However, it has generated more than 1 million logins per week.
