Vodafone acquires ZYB
I have good news for all of you ZYB users. Today we are joining the Vodafone Group. The ZYB team is very exited about this opportunity and we are all looking forward to working with Vodafone in pursuit of our vision – to create a new mobile experience by connecting your phone to your real life social network of friends, family and colleagues. In the discussions we have had with Vodafone it has become clear to all of us that Vodafone shares our vision and is eager to support us in our endeavours. Ahead of us lies a great opportunity to continue our innovation at an even greater pace than was possible before. As for the service, ZYB will stay open and free for all users all around the world, regardless of whether they are customers of Vodafone or any other network operator. I want to use this opportunity to thank all of you out there who have used ZYB in the course of these last two years. Your feedback has been an absolutely invaluable asset for us!

Congratulations on your success! I’m very glad to hear that you plan on keeping your service open and free. I hope vodaphone doesn’t chew up your company and spit it back out when they’re sick of it.
