Launch of UK specific website and iPhone app
Vyke Communications PLC announces that its subsidiary, Vyke AS,
has launched a branded Vyke UK website for Vyke Mobile. Customers
accessing the www.vyke.com website from the UK will now see a UK
specific portal, supplementing the established global site and
offering the same products and services, but with rates and offers
specifically targeting the UK mobile VoIP market. The initial
launch, to selected potential customers, will be followed up with
further marketing campaigns over the coming months.
The Group's managing director, Mohammad Asif, said "This is
another significant step in widening the use of Vyke's mobile
services, building on the software we have developed. For the first
time we are specifically targeting the UK market and our call
rates, which start at just 1p per minute, reflect this. We believe
that our low rates, coupled with our policy of no contracts or
connection fees, makes Vyke the application of choice for those in
the UK looking to save money on international calls and text
messages."
A US-targeted website is also under development which will
capitalise further on our experience and on our relationships with
BLS Tel Holdings LLP and Bonjour Europe Limited.
The Group's Apple iPhone application was launched in October
2010, adding iPhone customers to the user-base which already
includes those with Symbian or Java- based phones and Blackberry
(RIM) clients. This will be followed by an application for
Android-based phones to be launched before Christmas.
Mohammad Asif added; "The Group's initial focus in the fourth
quarter was on rapid action to cut costs and, having achieved
significant early successes there, we are now concentrating on
expanding sales in markets where we already have existing, or
easily delivered, products. Accordingly, we have not progressed any
further with developing call-back and call-through services in
India at this time but will make further announcements on progress
on this and other areas when appropriate. There remains much to
deliver but we are pleased with the early steps we have taken to
restructure and refocus Vyke to date."
