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

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.
