Mobile VoIP service provider, Vyke says its new Java client software,
Vyke Lite provides mobile users worldwide with access to its Vyke's low
cost international calling and text messaging service.
The free download supports viral user-to-user distribution and features
a redesigned, easier and friendlier to use interface. But focussed on
distribution via Vyke's successful Vyke Direct retail program, the new
version of Vyke Lite has been re-engineered from its previous
incarnation, Vyke Mobile.
It keeps the international IP-initiated calling and low cost, operator
independent text messaging, but is now free to download and distribute
by users worldwide.
The mobile application features a
scroll-and-click menus users are familiar with on mobile handsets and
allows users to access their handset's address book directly from the
application, simplifying the calling and texting process, while also
supporting such standard phone features such as predictive text entry.
Vyke Lite is a complementary communications service and does not
replace an end user's existing mobile service provider. You install the
software on your WiFi enabled mobile phone allowing you to interact
with the Vyke communications platform via wireless Internet. Using this
data
connection, Vyke Lite performs actions such as transmitting call set-up
instructions and low cost SMS for delivery to their destination.
However, Vyke's low cost international calling service is provided via
callback from the Vyke network, allowing users that do not have a VoIP
capable mobile phone to benefit from Vyke's low international calling
rates.
Vyke Lite is oriented towards users that are primarily interested in
low cost international calling or that do not have a mobile handset
that supports Vyke Pro.
Jan Berger, Executive Vice President of Global Sales for Vyke said,
"Previous versions of Vyke Lite have been tied to online user accounts
on Vyke.com. By upgrading the software and releasing it into our
successful scratch-card based VoIP distribution program, Vyke Direct,
we are greatly expanding Vyke Lite's potential distribution base. Our
market studies show that Vyke Lite is very relevant to Vyke Direct
customers and we are very enthusiastic about its impact in the market."
