Official Nimbuzz Blog

Yes, it’s true. Skype will no longer be accessible via Nimbuzz starting October 31, 2010. Why? Skype asked us to remove support for their service.

In 2008 we started working on creating a free mobile communications service for the way you live in the online and mobile world, today and in the future. A service used by everyone, no matter what handset, where they were located, or how they wanted to communicate. All your friends in one place, combined with free mobile calls, chat/IM or SMS/texting.

Read on for more on Skype’s decision.

Hello there, glad to have you back for this week’s Meet the Nimbuzz Bloggers post. As promised last time, today we will meet Marc from France.

Unfortunately we couldn’t meet for a photo shoot but legend has it that if you go trough Île de la Cité at noon you will see him roaming the streets chatting via Nimbuzz on his mobile. All we know he’s called Marc

Hi everyone! My name is Marc, I live in Paris and I’ve been in charge of the Nimbuzz Blog, France Edition for a year!

Why do we use a blog?  It’s here for a few reasons.

First of all, we can quickly let you know of what’s going on around Nimbuzz, give you exclusive information about upcoming releases, feed you with news about our software for all major platforms: iOs, Android, Symbian, BlackBerry, Java, PC, Mac et Web. You also get up-to-date news about the mobile industry in France, but one of the main goal of the blog is to establish a special way of communication between Nimbuzz and you, the end users! For us, it’s very important to have your opinion, your feedback about our products so we can enhance your experience with our instant messaging & VoIP software clients.

Hi all, we reached some amazing milestones today!

150,000,000 downloads of Nimbuzz, and 3,650,000,000 voice minutes logged in the last year.  Yes, those are millions and billions .

Nimbuzz has logged over 5 million downloads on the Nokia Ovi store, and over 45 million on GetJar, the second largest app store in the world.

The NimbuzzOut calls, combined with the free Nimbuzz to Nimbuzz calls, and the SIP calls have accounted for around 3.65 billion voice minutes over the last year!

The Nimbuzz community is 30 million strong and we are seeing 70,000 new members join every day. That is pretty much one new Nimbuzzer every second!  Our universal communications service offers free and low-cost calls through our VoIP product, NimbuzzOut as well as free messaging and file sharing across all major platforms, including iPhone (iOS), Android, BlackBerry, Symbian and Java, on over 3000 mobile devices!

“Nimbuzz has been one of the most popular apps for several years running now. It’s ease of use, large community and wide handset coverage make it a must have for mobile users,” said Patrick Mork, CMO of Getjar. ” We are thrilled to see Nimbuzz doing so well and look forward to seeing them hit the next 50 million downloads.
