Vyke today announced it has formed a strategic partnership with Nimbuzz, the Netherlands based provider of mobile social networking and interactivity applications.

This strategic partnership builds upon the component strengths of both Vyke and Nimbuzz by combining Vyke’s leading paid mVoIP service and Nimbuzz’ award winning mobile peer to peer mobile social messaging and VoIP services.

The globally available Nimbuzz service is currently growing at well over 20,000 new users per day and is the only aggregated mobile social messaging service to win a Red Herring Global 100 award.

This strategic partnership allows Vyke to address Nimbuzz’s growing and loyal user base with its paid mVoIP services, adding a new and high-potential sales channel to Vyke’s existing distribution structure. This sales channel also positions Vyke to benefit from the high growth rate enjoyed by Nimbuzz’s mobile services.

Kjetil Bøhn, CEO of Vyke, commented:

“Vyke is delighted to have formed this relationship. Nimbuzz has a very exciting set of mobile social messaging services that will benefit from Vyke’s core competency of paid mobile VoIP services. ”
