Motley Fool mentions ZIP, page-13

OMG another late comer swinging claiming to know something everyone else (who has been debating this stock for months) doesn't ... Suggest you go back and read several of the last  ann's  for the company and also go over the threads in detail since Dec and you will have your answers...

And by the way its already out so test away as many here have done.... but if you had done your research you would already know that...


But heres a starter  from Ann dated 2 weeks ago 8 Jan

ZipT is a mobile based international communication application that allows consumers to SMS and make international calls for free, App to App, or at low cost to any landline or mobile globally.
Over a 2 week period 1,000 users placed 14,000 calls and sent 2,500 messages to worldwide destinations. The initial results from a user survey from these users shows very promising potential and a positive outlook for the future.
The Survey Results are as follows:
 79% of users found on boarding easy and quick  80% reported excellent quality of the calls  85% reported no delays or interruptions during the call  Less than 5% of users had a negative user experience in one of the areas
On average each user made approximately 14 calls and sent 3 messages during the trial, demonstrating a high level of engagement, especially with telephony calls. ZipTel have commenced a second user survey of 9,000 users to further results and enable development and improvement of the App.
During extensive testing and analysing of data consumption ZipTel found that ZipT usage was stable at bandwidths as low as  6 kb/sec (25% better than the our marketed rate of  8 kb/sec), meaning a 1 minute call will consume as little as 360 kb of data. With this low consumption it is estimated that a standard mobile data package of 1 GB would equate to approx 46 hours of talk time. This compares favourably in the market and is far superior to the results major communication Apps provide. Based on recent testing and measuring, ZipTel is proven to provide over 4 times the talk time for the data used when compared to the best performing communication App and 20 times more compared to the worst.


ZipT: 6 kb/sec (1 GB of data will equate to approx 46 hours talk time)
Tango: approx 23 kb/sec (1 GB of data will equate to circa 12 hours talk time)
Viber: approx 23.9 kb/sec (1 GB of data will equate to circa 11.5 hours talk time)
Skype: 100 kb/sec (1 GB of data will equate to circa 2 hours talk time)
Throughout the Apps pilot phase ZipTel have been constantly developing and improving the App.  Two new versions of the app have been developed every week with numerous improvements to stability, features and user experience.
