Major investment for MIG33.

Mobile social network Mig33 started the second stage of investments and attracted for this purpose $ 13.5 million. The same companies that invested money in the first stage of the project development took part in the investment: Accel, Redpoint and TVP. The money will go to expand services in the United States and other countries. The company was founded in Perth, Australia. Currently, the number of users of the company reaches 9 million (in October last year there were 7.5 million) from more than 200 countries.

Mig33 is a mobile application that combines many useful features. Users can not only create profiles and make new friends, but also make VoIP calls, send SMS, email, exchange instant messages and pictures. Long distance calls can be made through the prepaid system. In addition, there is an affiliate program to provide free minutes, and in South Africa, the company offers a phone card calling service. More than 2 million calls are made per day and over 45 million messages are sent, and over a million pictures are sent within a month.

The application will work on most of the mobile brands, including Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung, etc. Planning to enter the American market, Mig33 is going to make modern smartphones interesting, and older models to be “smart”, adding features like chat to them and email exchange. I wonder how they will do it, because I personally have both a Blackberry and an iPhone, in which most of the functions of Mig33 are present.
