Vyke combats call blocking with software upgrade

Vyke Communications Plc has upgraded its VoIP software to circumvent call blocking by network operators.

Vyke’s forthcoming version of Vyke Mobile IP, which will be released in the fourth quarter of 2007, will include self contained VoIP capabilities.

This will restore full functionality to handsets that have been ‘locked’ by mobile operators.

Vyke recently entered into an agreement with wireless network provider, The Cloud Networks Limited, which will allow Vyke users to access mobile VoIP services across a network of 9,000+ hotspots and 16 large area, metropolitan networks.

Vyke Mobile IP allows users to make free calls from their mobile phone to fixed lines in Western Europe and North America.

It also provides calls to other destinations at a 95% discount compared with typical mobile operator pricing structures.
