Swiss Operator Offers Phone Back-Ups
Sicap has announced that the dominant Swiss operator, Swisscom has started rollout of its "EasyTransfer" solution in retail stores throughout Switzerland. Sicap's Unified Backup & Restore is a platform enabling mobile subscribers to backup their phone contents over the air, at home or at the point of sale, whether the content be stored on the device or on the SIM card.
FutureDial's Retail Management Solution is a web-based Server/Client Point of Sales (PoS) solution that enables wireless carriers to provide mobile-to-mobile device content transfer services in their stores using local connection (Bluetooth, Cable). With RMS installed, subscribers can transfer all of the mobile contents such as contacts, ringtones, music, photos, and video from their old phone to the new phone they just purchased. In addition to transfer, the RMS also allows users to backup, erase, restore, and print the contents on their handsets.
Recent studies have shown that it takes an average of 3 months for ARPU to recover after a user loses his phonebook entries or SIM content. Sicap's UBR enables the operator to maintain the ARPU and increase customer loyalty by protecting the phone contents.
