Austria's First 3G Videomail Service

Hutchison 3G Austria (H3G) says that it will launch the first mobile Videomail service in Austria one month ahead of Christmas, just in time to send festive video-greeting to friends and relatives. The service is facilitated by LogicaCMG's uOne solution. Videomail is the enriched multimedia version of traditional voicemail, taking advantage of the enhanced capabilities of 3G networks. With LogicaCMG's uOne platform, when a call is unanswered, the caller receives a personalised video greeting from the recipient followed by the option to record a video message in return.

The recipient has the option of retrieving the new videomail message through a video call to their mailbox or accessing it via MMS, e-mail or a web browser.

3 customers in Austria can also select from a range of Videomail greetings recorded by well-known celebrities.

H3G currently has 266,000 subscribers."
