Home grown chat application firm Hike Messenger has
rolled out free voice-calling Hike Calls, a company statement said on
28/01/2015 Wednesday.
The introduction of this feature will allow its users to
call each other for free, over 2G, 3G and Wi-Fi and across the globe in over
200 countries. The introduction of such calls has come within a month of its
first acquisition of a free calling app - Zip Phone.
“While building free hike calls, we kept two things in
mind. Firstly, India is a very cost-sensitive market and as a result we’ve
ensured that our service is extremely efficient on data. It means our users can
pack in more minutes per MB when calling on hike,” Kavin Bharti Mittal, founder
and chief executive officer, Hike Messenger said.
“Secondly we have made Hike’s free calling service
available globally in over 200 countries,” he added.
The free Hike calling feature has been launched in beta
on Android, which contributes to over 90 percent of Hike’s user base. The iOS
and Windows versions are slated for release by the end of this quarter.
