Hi, I’m wondering if someone can help me.
I have downloaded Vyke Pro on to my mobile for the text messaging and am trying to refill my account. I filled in my details on the computer but when I attempted to send some messages I was told that my balance was to low. Now, on the webpage, when I log in it says balance so and so even though I cannot send any messages through Vyke. I only noticed afterwards that I can refill my account through my mobile, but I don’t want to pay twice.
Sorry for the long message but if anyone can suggest some help, I’d appreciate it. BTW I already contacted Vyke but received little to no help at all.

I’m a bit surprised by the inaccuracies in this review. I am a subscriber to vykepro and suggest the reviewer properly examine the features available for all its mobile solutions available in vykepro. It not only allows mobile handsets to transmit VOIP (mobile IP) for free in the case of IP to IP , but also allows callback telephony connection (SMS or IP triggers) from your telephone for as low as 4c unlimited call duration to select countries. Also, its text service is second to none as it allows international text for 2c and free texts between vyke subscribers.
I shall not be referring back to this site again as it’s information is so poorly checked before publication.

I have the same experience as Tayo. Whenever I try to send a text message, I get the ‘SMS Charge failed. Please refill your account’ although I have money in my Vyke account.
The odd thing is that I am able to make calls to the exact same US cellphone number that I tried to text, using Vykepro with GPRS and my account was debited with the $ 0.24/min. Strange!
The call I made lasted for about 5 minutes before my opponent hung up. I then checked out the various Vykepro features only to realize 10 - 12 minutes later that my handset was still on. I got charged for an 18 min. call !! Duh !

Vyke is really good solution for those who control their phone bills, especially international calls. When compared with some other providers vyke’s call rates are high. My main calling destination is India, though, the quality nad reliability really scores high.

Not good at all doesn’t work properly and even if it did other people provide the same services cheaper.

I must say the sound and ease of use are excellent. When it comes to customer service they lack all kinds of support. They have restricted my use due to some internal problem where all my credit card payments were authorized by my bank and still they have blocked my phone. Their customer service has one automatic response which restricts their capability of serving their customers.

All in all a very good service and very cheap.

I’m using this service because a client was built-in to my Nokia E75. The price is quite good to North America..I don’t see anything else offering a price per hour cost.
Quality of the connection is sporatic and is either terrible or terrific…unfortunately some days there are more terrible connections and I have to try connecting 3 times…once I get a good connection the quality beats anything else that I’ve used. When the connection is not good it is not useable at all!
