Nimbuzz and Virgin Mobile India have partnered to bring Nimbuzz social networking and chatting to Virgin Mobile’s youth-centric customers. The multibrand WAP chat application in Virgin Mobile is branded as “Vchatter“. Vchatter allows users to access multiple instant messengers from a single login.
In the first phase, Vchatter will allow Virgin Mobile users to chat in the very familiar Vbytes (Virgin Mobile’s WAP portal) environment. Vchatter brings a one click log-in to multiple IMs like Yahoo Messenger, Gtalk, MSN Messenger, Facebook, Skype etc. via the Vbytes portal for free. Vchatter has been adapted to suit VMI’s young users’ needs with a customized User Interface and design created in-house by Virgin Mobile. The application is easy to use and brings all your messenger contacts into a single common friend list.
The second phase will see the launch of Virgin-branded Nimbuzz Java applications, in Virgin Mobile’s upcoming pre-paid handsets. Virgin Mobile plans to promote Nimbuzz’s “Vchatter” mobile chat service via a dedicated webpage on the Virgin Mobile website, and with a direct-contact-to-consumer campaign. For its part, Nimbuzz has launched an official India blog to interact with its community in India, for news, behind the scenes insight, new features and trends.
