Flyp Launches Communications App in Mexico and the Dominican Republic; Delivers Free Unlimited International Calling and Texting To and From the U.S.


Flyp today launched its communications app in Mexico and the Dominican Republic, providing free, unlimited calling and texting to and from the U.S., without requiring a Wi-Fi connection. More than 100 million mobile users in Mexico and the Dominican Republic can now add a local U.S. number to their international phones with Flyp, eliminating long-distance rates for all calls going to - or originating from - the U.S. Flyp can be downloaded in the App Store for iOS users and on Google Play for Android (News - Alert).

According to a recent study, more phone calls occur between the United States and Mexico than any other two countries in the world. International calls placed from the U.S. to Mexico account for 7.7 percent of all global call traffic, while the U.S. is the number one destination for international calls from Mexico1. For years, residents have relied on calling cards that fail to provide texting capabilities, or VoIP solutions that require a strong Wi-Fi signal and can incur high data usage charges.

Flyp is the first communications app that uses existing cellular networks and works anywhere a cell signal is found. Because Flyp does not rely on Wi-Fi, it provides the highest call quality and reliability on the market. Flyp makes keeping in touch with family and friends affordable:
