VykeAbroad
Kiss roaming charges goodbye when you travel
VykeAbroad is a intelligent-management-of-roaming feature, embedded in the VykeMobile app. Its principal features are automatic detection of roaming when travelling abroad with prompts that allows you to choose how to call or text while away and a 'welcome home' message on return.
VykeAbroad is clever
As soon as Vyke detects roaming it automatically alerts you to select one of two options - standard Vyke or VykeAbroad. Selecting standard Vyke will incur roaming charges when connecting over a 3G network. However by selecting VykeAbroad, you can limit or eliminate altogether any roaming charges.
Yes! VykeAbroad can eliminate or significantly reduce your roaming charges
VykeAbroad without Vyke's 'callback or call@' options automatically restricts connections to WiFi calling over Vyke's interface at low-cost rates from as little as 2¢ a minute or sending texts for just 6c or even less without any risk of incurring outgoing or incoming roaming charges.
VykeAbroad with 'callback/call@' does not restrict use to WiFi only but significantly limits roaming charges.
Use of 'callback' incurs a small roaming charge in setting up the call over your normal data connection and then restricts further roaming to incoming charges only, significantly cheaper than outgoing ones.
Vyke's 'call@' option allows you to set up calls from phones anywhere in the world by sending a small data package, the only roaming cost involved. That's pretty convenient if you have access to a local number abroad.
