Vyke Communications plc is a leading Voice over Internet Protocol ("VoIP") service provider with a focus on mobile applications.

Formed in 2004 and expanding via organic and acquisition-based growth, Vyke's key competitive edge is based on the following technology and expertise:

VoIP based communication systems
Mobile handset technology
Wholesale carrier network management

The Vyke suite of IP-enabled services combines this key technology and expertise to provide innovative, low cost and high quality consumer services that build on the foundation provided by Vyke's vertically integrated VoIP communications network. It provides the following services for any individual or business from a single integrated platform:

Mobile VoIP (VoIP directly from the mobile phone)
PC and device based VoIP services
Mobile messaging
Mobile call back services

Vyke's aim is to become one of the world's largest independent mobile VoIP service providers.

figures were ahead of expectations so cant fault the company. Clearly problem with a hedge fund who probably took up too many in the placing and appear desperate to raise cash and therefore selling at any opportunity. Similar situation to Lead a year ago. Will be a great opportunity at some point but depends how desperate the fund is to raise cash. The placing was surprising for the price paid and the number of shares they got away. Does mean a major overhang if the holders want out however.

Todays Daily Telegraph featured a profile of Tommy Jensen, Chairman of VYKE Communications (VYKE), who described the business as the easyJet of the communications world. The article outlined discounts the service potentially offers users on international and domestic calls, compared to traditional services, and its growing customer base. The UK is now in the Company sights and it will be advertising on London taxis. Despite this press attention however, the share price was unchanged at 74.50p earlier today.

anyone knows what is that 15% up today???

This from another BB...

Mail on Sunday ..............

Phone customers flock to Vyke

Using a mobile phone to make overseas calls can be horrendous. A couple of quick conversations and a few texts may seem like nothing, but the bill tends to be jaw-droppingly expensive.

Which may be why Vyke is gaining 3,000 new customers a day and now has more than 1.3m regular users. It has found a way to offer cheap international calls from a mobile or a computer.

The calls are made using the internet and they cost between 66% and 95% less than ordinary mobile calls. Customers make about 12m calls a day.

Vyke floated two years ago and has acquired a loyal fan club of institutional investors. Reassuringly, too, chief executive Tommy Jensen owns just over 3% of the company so he is deeply committed to its success.

City analysts expect Vyke to have 10m customers by 2012 and it is about to embark on a big marketing push in the UK.

So far, customers have been concentrated on the Continent and the Middle East, but British mobile phone users are likely to find Vyke's offer compelling.

The service can be operated from most new mobiles and is particularly cheap where there is wireless internet access. Vyke has been loss-making to date, but it is likely to become profitable this year. Brokers expect it will ultimately be bought by a big phone group.

Midas verdict: Vyke operates in a fast-growing market and offers a service with wide appeal. Stock market turmoil has sent the shares down from more than 200p in November to just 83p today. This seems short-sighted. Buy.

I hear they are getting great feedback from the Telecom Show in Barcelona, they have a stand next to Nokia..

Cool!

From Daniel Stewart today :

VYKE - BUY
Price: 75.5p Target price: 500p
Code: VYKE.L Analyst: Mike Jeremy | 020 7776 6570

1Q07 customer numbers at 1.74m, ahead of our outlook

Vyke reported 1.743m customers* at March 31st 2008, 34% above the 1.303m registered at the end of 2007 (+226% YoY), implying a daily acquisition rate of 4,832. This run-rate is ahead of that required to meet our June 2008 target of 2.060m customers; indeed at a level we would not have expected until June 2009. (*A customer is defined as having topped-up the web-based account in the given quarter).

Call volume was particularly strong, at 8.5m minutes per week, compared to 4.15m/week in the previous quarter. Vyke registered 28.9m minutes of Vyke IP product calls in the quarter, up 55.6% on the 18.6m mins of 4Q07 (+129% YoY).
As a result (net) IP-based revenue at $15.1m was 51% above 4Q07 levels ($9.98m) indicating that customers are actively using their Vyke mobile IP accounts.

Overall, these three key metrics ~ IP customer numbers, call volume, and call value ~ all point towards strong growth momentum, indeed at a rate which is currently ahead of levels required to meet our FY08 expectations. Our valuation, based on Vyke reaching 7.0m IP accounts by 2010, remains 500p. Buy.

i think they have put at least one extra zero too many in the forecast .... certainly the market took a similarly sceptical view

I'm keeping away from Vyke for now as it proved very volatile before, though I made a good profit on this a few months back.

This from today's Times - maybe I'll get back in again some time soon; they keep promoting it:

Tiddler to watch
Vyke Communications, the provider of internet calls over mobiles, down 3p at 72p, has unveiled at an investor conference its Vyke Air product for connecting to wi-fi hot spots. Charles Stanley reiterated its buy advice with a 190p price target. Vyke is signing up 4,200 customers a day, more than expected.

Yes, it's looking good although everytime I see broker buy recs. and targets of 1.9 s to 5 the sp goes down ! anyway it's good time to get in before it turns round and shoots up and when it does it could be quick (imho)
I'm continuing to hold and may buy more at these levels

Yes I'm in this. Sitting on a loss at the moment but it keeps getting good write- ups.

Question is, when will the sp respond?

When will VYKE become profit making?

Sounds sensible but not really an answer.

If you took out all the loss making companies out of the stock market, there wouldn't be a great deal left, particularly Aim and small cap.

This IMO will rocket but not until the market conditions improve.
Let's just hope nothing goes amiss with the cy until then.

If a company is proprely managed the directors should be able to estimate at least next years earnings and overheads and thus produce a profit/loss forecast. Too many smaller companies are afraid to do this in case it affects the sp. and as a result impact on the value of directors share options.

I don't disagree but think it's more to do with keeping their jobs.

As somebody that trades the market, the point I'm making is the stock market will not value the sp of all these cy's as 0p so assuming they stay listed they remain tradable.

Cheer up chaps ! final results may be due next week ! (released 4th June last yr)

Could do with something to shift the price northwards but there again you could say that about everything atm!

Some buying today final results for 2007 nearly overdue? Any news?

Almost forgotten about this company. It has been tossed aside by the market, stuck in a drawer and left to rot.
