The Mobile VOIP market has been silent for long. However this scene is about to change a lot with new startups coming up in Mobile VOIP market and existing VOIP providers extending their service to Mobile VOIP platform will make it difficult for exisiting players to retain market share.
NimBuzz is one of the companies whose core focus is Mobile VOIP, a direct competitor to no.1 Mobile VOIP application developer Fring. The rest of the players like Truphone, Tringme are VOIP providers but Nimbuzz will take compete directly to Fring in the coming days.
Nimbuzz offers a solution for free mobile VoIP calling, conference calling, instant messaging, chat and group chat, and photo and file sending across multiple IM communities, including Skype, MSN, Google Talk, Yahoo!, AIM, Jabber and ICQ, plus 23 social networks. Nimbuzz currently supports over 500 handsets, which is really great. That means Nimbuzz is able to bring Mobile VOIP to the masses. It would be interesting to see how this whole thing will actually work.
The Official launch date of Nimbuzz Mobile VOIP is May 13th, thats today. With Mobile VOIP application slowly taking over the whole telecom business from Mobile companies, it would be interesting how this whole thing will work. Sending files and photos using Mobile VOIP for FREE is gonna make life difficult for GSM/CDMA operators across the world. We strongly feel there will be consolidation, takeovers and mergers happening soon in this space.
Just to give you a heads up, Fring is also moving into the same direction. Lets see what next they come out with.

I can´t figure out how the call works.
The FAQ says:
It's easy, simply select a friend in your contact list and choose the Call option. Nimbuzz will now set up a Call to your friend by establishing a connection to a local fixed line number. Accept the call and Nimbuzz will connect you to you friend. That's it. Happy talking.
Did someone try it?
Hey Vinay,
1. Nimbuzz is not for PDA with windows mobile 6 (wm6).
2. Fring with wm6, i observed that incoming calls do not come, fring loses the sip registration.
Can you suggest of any softphone that i can use on wm6. Basically xlite for wm6 to use with any provider.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Priyanka

Any instructions on?
Thank you
But The Person Whoeva We Wanna Make A Call Has To Have Google Talk, Skype or NimBuzz. I Don't See Any Other Way We Can Call Anyone We Want To.
Thanks for the info. I will try this out.
This could cut down on my cell minutes.
