Free text notifications! Introducing: Nimbuzz Ping

Not everyone owns a smartphone.

As a matter of fact, there are 4 billion “feature phones” in use today. But not every feature phone allows you to stay connected to your friends the same way smartphones do.

That’s why we launched Nimbuzz Ping!

Nimbuzz Ping let’s you receive free text notifications when Nimbuzz friends are trying to connect with you. You will appear online to your friends even if you have Nimbuzz turned off on your mobile phone.

Nimbuzz Ping works on all Java and Symbian mobile phones. Simply activate Nimbuzz Ping in your Nimbuzz Settings by verifying your phone number.

You will receive free text message (SMS) notifications whenever someone is trying to connect with you. It is up to you whether you want to start Nimbuzz to call or chat for free.

From now on you will no longer miss Amy’s friend request, Ben’s chat message, or Claire’s photos.

Nimbuzz Ping is completely free. Not only do you save battery power, you also don’t need to buy an expensive smartphone to stay connected.

Make sure you have the latest version of Nimbuzz installed and check if your mobile network operator (provider) supports it by looking at our list of partners.

We are launching Nimubzz Ping with Telkomsel in Indonesia and will roll it out to other networks soon. For more information please visit the Nimbuzz Ping FAQ page.

If you would like to be notified when Nimbuzz Ping will be available for your operator sign-up here.

Turn your phone into a smartphone with Nimbuzz Ping and stay connected to your friends!

Make sure you have your phone number registered on Nimbuzz.
You can do that on Menu> My Account> Phone number.
Once this is done you can go to:
Menu> Settings> Nimbuzz Ping> Enable
If this service is not provided by your operator a pop-up message will notify you.

Thank you querlat , I did signed up there .
the new version is cool,but Why you removed the “forward File” since the files we upload are already on the server why should we upload it again every time we want to send something to someone.
The forward feature was great .

Eto Sorrow January 28th, 2011
Yes, Ali is right. We want nimbuzz to nimbuzz free message feature. and I also want to add that all our sent messages are now deleted automatically. Please Nimbuzz fix this problem. We want our sent item stored online

I already installed this newest version, but when I try to activate Nimbuzz Ping, pop-up message appears : “Your phone number +6281xxx could not be verified. Do you want to edit your phone number?” and this pop-up message always appears even my phone number already correct. Please advise…

arya January 29th, 2011
@ Queralt
I wasn’t aware there is an update out yet. Normally nimbuzz should have displayed update notification, but it hasn’t, please inform developers about it. Thanx

Kev January 29th, 2011
@ Queralt
I tried downloading with UCWEB, I got error cannot download file. Then i tried downloading with Opera Mini 5, the download was successful, the moment i open the file, i got this error “Unable To Open File, File type not supported”. I have checked carefully, the download was successful, and its clearly Nimbuzz.sisx but still error and cannot install. This is the first time i got such type of error. I guess, i will stick with 3.0.1 meanwhile this issue get fixed.

jatin January 29th, 2011
@ ashley
I agree with you , nimbuzz should block that link.
@ queralt
would it be possible if nimbuzz linked with facbook ?
I mean when I write a personal message in nimbuzz it should appear in my wall posts , and we should have the option to post it on facebook or not ..

just like the new yahoo status .. you get to share it on facebook and twitter.

that would be nice
