## History

In October 2010, Intel Capital announced that Nymgo would be one of the three companies receiving a Series A investment round from its $50 million start-up fund.[1] Nymgo received a total of $5 million in this funding round.[citation needed]

In 2011, Nymgo received a joint investment from Intel Capital and The Abraaj Group for an undisclosed sum. Nymgo has since revamped its networking infrastructure to improve its core voice-only calling business model and has begun the process of rebranding its client apps and website user experience all the while preparing to roll out native smartphone applications for the iPhone and Android OS in early 2012.[2]

## Rates

In 2011, Nymgo slashed rates in half to countries with teams participating in the 2010 World Cup.[3]

## Customer service

When a customer encounters poor audio quality, Nymgo will test the line and refund the first two minutes of the call if the test reveals a network error.[4]

Nymgo users periodically complain of dealing with unnecessary obstacles in buying credit (verification procedures, red tape) in certain countries.[4]
