  3. @Inderjeet, Nimbuzz does not require 3G System as it can work from GPRS. However, 3G can add high speed mobility.

  6. @Aditya,

    it is not necessary but Nimbuzz is fully functional on Vodafone over the Vodafone Mobile Connect. Both the options can be subscribed simultaneously but can used individually.

  11. Hey ShahNawaz,

    I am in Mumbai and unable to use nimbuzz over the vodafone live network. It works fine over my wi-fi network at home. Just wanted to find out whether it really works over Vodafone Mobile Connect so that if it does, I can go ahead, have that activated and switch over. Please let me know.
