Yeigo has updated its mobile VoIP service for UK-based users with several neat new features for free instant messaging to mates.
The Yeigo 2.1 Edition includes full-screen IM chats, Tab Chat letting users IM multiple people, Holler (in which offline users get a prompt that a friend is available), Port ‘n’ Sort (importing contacts from other IM providers such as MSN and Yahoo) and It’s A Status Thing (showing which contacts are online).
Yeigo launched in the UK in October after already being available in South Africa. It claims to offer free calls and IM from Windows Mobile and Symbian mobile phones, which it does, kind of, with no charge to download and use the application. Naturally where it isn’t free is in the user having to pay 3G or wi-fi connection costs while chatting.
Now this is a good idea. Yeigo, the mobile VoIP company that is making an aggressive push into the market at the moment, has just announced a new feature for its service called Holler.
