Maaii, the free calling and messaging app launches Worldwide Credit payments using MOLPoints online payment system

HONG KONG, May 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Maaii, the #1 free social networking app in iTunes Malaysia, has today launched Credit payments with MOL AccessPortal Sdn. Bhd. (MOL). Maaii users in Malaysia can now buy Maaii Credit through the MOLPoints online payment system. Maaii Credit is used to buy products such as "MaaiiOut", which allows users to make super low cost calls to mobile and landline numbers globally.

"Free High-Definition voice calls between Maaii users is one of the key features driving our considerable growth," said Chris Lewis Vice President at Maaii. He continued, "However there are a significant and growing number of Malaysian users that like to make inexpensive calls with MaaiiOut to friends and family not yet using Maaii. For this service they can now obtain Maaii Credit in local currency with MOLPoints from any MOL supported outlet."

The Maaii applications for iOS and Android platforms are becoming increasingly popular in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and other markets. Craig White, MOL Global's President of Global Operations added, "We are always looking at expanding our offerings to MOL users with quality products like Maaii. We believe that this partnership will create a great synergy in helping both of our businesses grow across the region."

With several million users worldwide, Maaii is fortifying its user base in South East Asia and the Middle-East. The demand for mobile HD voice, social chat functions and inexpensive international calling is accelerating. "By enabling local currency payments, Maaii can now compete head-to-head with the likes of Skype, Rebtel and other VoIP brands. If current App Store rankings are anything to go by it would seem that Maaii is definitely a strong new contender in the space," said Lewis.
