Vyke has completed alpha testing on its stand alone Symbian VoIP client for Symbian phones. Subsequently the Stand alone mobile VoIP client has moved into a broader BETA test group prior to becoming publicly available later in the year. Vyke users can sign-up for the beta test www.vyke.com/contact-us.jsf. A stand alone Mobile VoIP client means that the owner of mobile phones with this operating system can, regardless of their mobile subscription or limitations bestowed upon them by their mobile operator make Voice over Internet calls from their mobile phone.

Earlier this month Vyke released an open beta version of its FreeTxT product, which allows Vyke users with Symbian phones to send free SMS between each other or at a flat fee of $0.06 to any other mobile destination worldwide. FreeTxT fully integrates with the customer’s handset and the users send regular SMS from their phones messaging center, but all messages are routed over GPRS to Vyke where they are sent via Vyke’s extensive SMS gateway solution to the destination mobile, see more at: http://www.vyke.com/contact-us.jsf.

The two products, Stand alone mobile VoIP and FreeTxT is merging into one product that according to plan will be released later this year under the Vyke-Air brand.
