Nymgo (pronounced \ˈnim-ˌgo\) is a software application that makes calls from computers to landlines and mobile phones over the Internet through Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). Nymgo is a subsidiary of UK-based Splendor Telecom. It launched in December 2008 as a SIP-enabled international voice termination provider from fixed devices.
In October 2010, Intel Capital announced that Nymgo would be one of the three companies receiving a Series A investment round from its $50 million start-up fund.[1] Nymgo received a total of $5 million in this funding round.[citation needed]
In 2011, Nymgo received a joint investment from Intel Capital and The Abraaj Group for an undisclosed sum. Nymgo has since revamped its networking infrastructure to improve its core voice-only calling business model and has begun the process of rebranding its client apps and website user experience all the while preparing to roll out native smartphone applications for the iPhone and Android OS in early 2012.[2]
