yuilop Enters U.S. with Free Unlimited National Calling and SMS

Posted on July 25, 2020 — 4:11 pm

Undercuts Skype-like rivals who charge for out-of-app communication to mobile and landline numbers

yuilop, the cloud-based global communications app popular in Europe, today launched free – no credit or cash needed – unlimited, national calls and SMS in the U.S., giving its new base of U.S. users a no-cost alternative to expensive Mobile Network Operators (MNO) and to VoIP services that start charging for out-of-app activities. Accessed by over 5 million users, and currently available in over 200+ countries, yuilop makes calling and texting free to any contact, even to friends and family who don’t have the app, anywhere in the world.

“With free, unlimited national calling, we expect to exponentially increase our user base in the United States and look forward to offering users huge savings, not just on their phone bill - i.e. getting out of AT&T’s $90 contracts - but on what they pay to use other apps,” said yuilop CEO, Jochen Doppelhammer. “Our goal is to provide a better user experience for mobile than Skype-like platforms, by offering free, open communication where others make you pay.”

yuilop users worldwide can call, send and receive individual or group messages, their location, photos and emoji with any of their contacts for free over 3G/4G/LTE or WiFi.

 It works even with contacts who don’t have the app thanks to a virtual credit system that rewards users with free credits for various activities including initial sign up, inviting other users, using the app, watching ads or downloading promotions on the yuilop offer wall. In the U.S., yuilop provides users with a free unique yuilop.me mobile number and no credits are required for domestic calls and SMS.

yuilop quarterly newsletter: your inside peek at our growth this spring

Posted on May 29, 2020 — 12:59 pm

Introducing the first yuilop update! We hope you enjoy it, share it and send us your suggestions.

For those new to yuilop, we’re a startup out of Barcelona, with a mission to make talking free again. We built a communications app that upped the bar for low-cost to no-cost. Skype, Viber and Whatsapp, offer free calls or messages only when placed over the internet and between their app’s users. With yuilop, you can make calls and send SMS to anyone in the world over WiFi or 3G/4G/LTE, even to friends and family who don’t have the app. It’s a whole new generation of OTT.

Highlights, more phones,

more fun

We started off the year at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. We had a fun time showing off the yuilop app and launched two yuilop services for business:

Sponsored chat advertising for Brands and yuilop in a box for MNOs. In April, we launched yuilop for the first time on BlackBerry and Windows Phone.

Key stats, here we grow

- 5 million active users

- 40+ countries where yuilop is available (biggest markets Germany, Mexico and Spain)

- 10-fold growth in Italy in just two months!

- No. 2 in travel, rank of Iberia Express app after yuilop Sponsored Chat campaign

What’s next, by Jochen

Doppelhammer

We’re super proud of each and every yuilop launch, but that’s just the beginning. For starters, very soon you’ll see more features for BlackBerry and WP, a new design for Android, the ability to get more than one yuilop.me number and more ways to top up credit. You can also expect the official launch of yuilop in the US and something new and disruptive in

Germany. Of course our focus is still on making

talking free, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

 

Makes talking free again.

 

Jochen Doppelhammer CEO & Founder

Start saving money with yuilop! - Part II

Spend money on mobile or spend it on yourself, the choice is really yours.

 

save_money_INT

 

Last week we told you how to save 40 euros a month on your mobile bill. So that got us to thinking about some clever ideas on how to spend that money. Here are a few we came up with at the office:

  • Save the planet! Donate to the World Wildlife Fund or other charity of your choice. http://www.wwf.org
  • Finally get that Padi Scuba certification you’ve wanted. http://www.padi.com
  • Buy Nespresso capsules for the whole office. http://www.nespresso.com
  • Put it in your piggy bank. After all, a penny saved is a penny earned!
