Nimbuzz and Virgin Mobile India have partnered to offer a new service called Vchatter to users. Nimbuzz is a very popular mobile chat software and we have spoken about it in the past.
All you need to do is create a nimbuzz account and add all your chat accounts to it like google talk, yahoo , msn messenger ,facebook ,skype.And you just need to sign into nimbuzz from your mobile phone and you will be automatically logged in to all your IM accounts with a single login. Now with vchatter, Nimbuzz is offering its multibrand WAP chat application to Virgin Mobile allowing users to access multiple instant messengers.
Vchatter will be rolled out in two phases. In the first phase users can access the service in a style similar to Vbytes – the wap portal. In the second phase they are planning to launch a branded version of the Nimbuzz Java application.
Vikas Saxena, Country Head Nimbuzz India, says: “We believe that the “always-on” solution that Nimbuzz provides, together with Virgin Mobile’s youth customer focus will gratify the social communication needs of India’s hyper-connected youth. Our current global growth at the rate of one new user signing up every 3 seconds is handy proof of the appetite for our service.”
Talking about the Nimbuzz-Virgin Mobile association, Deval Parikh Chief Officer, Handset, VAS & Procurement, Virgin Mobile India, says “Virgin Mobile is focussed on providing services and products that meet the need of the its target customers, urban youth in the age group of 15 to 30 years old. Through this unique product experience, we are providing our users the ease of connecting on the move, anytime and anywhere.”
In Vchatter we have a unique application which makes all Instant Messengers accessible to our customers with a single simultaneous login. Now the users will not have to repeatedly feed in different usernames & passwords for multiple IMs. And this is just the beginning!” Parikh added.
