Still worries me that we can’t get the basic Buzz functionality on the iPhone, and we can’t Buzz others. What is so different about the iPhone? I can’t think that Buzz has anything to do with the iPhone hardware at all.

@Danie The goal of the buzz was to get Nimbuzz users online for a chat. This feature is now available through push notification on Nimbuzz. In the next iPhone release push notification will be available for Nimbuzz users 24/7!

Yeah, except that Nimbuzz won’t connect to Skype anymore =(

Calls from GTalk didn’t work for me… If I try to call anyone from Nimbuzz or they try to call me nothing happens.
Skype works good, but not GTalk (

@Niellune
Are you calling friends who are logged on Gtalk or Gmail? Note that you can just call your contacts that are on Gmail.
Which device (model and brand) are you using? Which Nimbuzz version?
Which status are you and your contacts displaying?
Let us know!
@Guilherme
We are aware of some issues with Skype registrations.
Our Team is working in order to have this fixed.

Due to technical reasons and limited usage we have disabled the XMPP/Jabber gateways. We will continue to focus on providing Nimbuzz users access to the highest quality gateways and networks. We do not plan to re-enable the XMPP/Jabber gateways in the future.

As always, we’re keen to hear feedback and please feel free to contact us if you have any more questions.

if you use your data plan or over 3g connection meaning it won’t charge you right? and even if you call from different country as long as they were using nimbuzz account they will not charge you? iphone to iphone with nimbuzz are no charge over 3g to 3g, 3g to wifi, and wifi to wifi?

I can’t make any voice calls to my contact. Using BB bold 9700.

@carla
using your data plan you won’t have any extra cost.
If you are located in a different country (abroad) please check with your network provider if the usage of internet and data transfer will have an extra charge.
Let us know if you have more questions
@bax
The calling functionality on BlackBerry devices is not supported.

Hi Gurus
I want to know that whether i will be able to use Nimbuzz to make SIP calls using third party SIP services provider on Iphone (ATT US) over 3G. A nimbuzz response will surely ease my dilemma.As on Apple site it clearly says that Nimbuzz is allowed to call over wifi but not on 3G

Ravi May 3rd, 2010
@Ravi
If Calling over 3G is allowed by your provider, yes it will be possible.
Currently, VoIP calls over 3G are not allowed in: Poland, Hungary & Greece. If you are not in those countries, you should be able to place a call on 3G while using the latest Nimbuzz version for iPhone.
Let us know if you have more questions.
Regards

Could you let us know which device and Nimbuzz version are you running?
Are you not able to call them or when you do you receive an error message?
If yes, which one?

I would leave feedback but I haven’t been able to make a call! And I can’t find anywhere on the net where it’s explained how to make a call. Guess they really don’t want you to make calls on Nimbuzz!

Bill May 19th, 2010
@Bill
To make a call you just have to select the contact you want to call and select the call option.
If you want to call landlines or mobile phone numbers you will need to purchase NimbuzzOut credits.
For more info about NimbuzzOut check our site: http://www.nimbuzzout.com

I have Nimbuzz on my iPhone 3GS. When I try to call (CALL, not chat – the chat function is fine) my Gmail contacts, it rings on their end, they pick up…..but it still keeps endlessly ringing on my end and the conversation never can begin. Any ideas how to fix this?

Sharon May 25th, 2010
@Sharon
Your Gtalk contacts logged on Gmail won’t be able to answering the phone call.
They need to be logged on the Gtalk application.

Hi,
I cannot make calls using this application. I select my friends on Skype and it only allows me to send chat messages. There is no call function. My phone is the LG Viewty (Ku990). I am in Ireland. Is it not possible to call skype contacts on this? I have free internet usage on 3G.
(I have registered my phone number).

Tony August 10th, 2010

Your device is using a Java version of Nimbuzz which does not support the calling feature.

Hi,
I’ve been trying for days now to figure out why can’t I placea or receive a call in Skype and gmail when using nimbuzz.
I can hear the ringing tone but once answered I can’t hear a thing and so can’t the one I am calling.
It works just fine using wifi but not when using 3g.
I chacked with my network provider, Orange Israel and they insisted there is no bluck on there end for VOIP calls using nimbuzz.
It’s getting me crazy I can’t find an instructions or explanation anywhere on the web.
I am using Nexus one (android 2.2), kernal version 2.6.34 cyanogenmod#7, mod version 6.0.0-N1-RC1
can anyone please explain it to me or even instruct me how can I activate it???

Thanks, ShookI

Shooki August 11th, 2010

Could you let us know if you also face this audio issue when calling to a Nimbuzz contact?

I am from UAE and using Iphone4.I have latest nimbuzz on my mobile. I cannot call anybody even nimbuzz contact. There ringtone when I am calling and also I am receiving ringtone when somebody calls me but chatting is working normally

Shehnas December 15th, 2010
@shehnas
We are aware of VoIP blocking in UAE, which is an initiative from the
government together with the Telecommunications Authorities.
Unfortunately due to these reasons we cannot guarantee that VoIP
calling will work for you. We recommend you to try to call using other
network to test if it helps.

Thanks & Regards.

Please help me.

mpardo January 8th, 2011
@mpardo
We are aware of the problem on Xperia Mini and Xperia Mini Pro devices running OS older than 2.2, hence the reason why we suspect this is an issue with the OS. In these conditions VoIP does not work properly because the microphone is deactivated during the call.
We normally recommend an OS update to solve the problem but unfortunately, the Froyo update is not yet available for your device. In these conditions we don’t have a solution for your case at the moment, but we are focused on finding alternatives.
Could you inform your internet connection type and provider/ carrier?

My friend in Indonesia also has downloaded Nimbuzz on his Blackberry Bold 9700 and set up his account… Now when I tried calling him it didn’t go through and keeps on displaying ‘Nimbuzz Out Buy Credit’. The whole point for us both to download this app was so we can call free using Wifi Internet….
Please solve my problem….

we do not provide calling on BB devices yet.
so if you want to call your friend in Indonesia you will have to call him/her directly to his/her phone number, for that you need NimbuzzOut credits.
