Sony Ericsson to Offer Visual Voicemail

Comverse has announced that it is working with mobile handset manufacturer Sony Ericsson to provide visual voicemail on its handsets.

"Because of visual voicemail's global appeal, it has become a high priority to make the service available on new handsets," said Chief Marketing Officer John Bunyan at Comverse. "Our strategic cooperation with handset leaders like Sony Ericsson," Bunyan said, "helps ensure that new handsets can offer the most attractive and user-friendly visual voicemail experience to the broadest number of people."

"Visual voicemail's success comes from providing users a richer array of capabilities and choice," said Bunyan. "Its value to operators is underscored by solid global take-up figures showing that it can increase voicemail usage and penetration in key segments."

Comverse Visual Voicemail is part of the Comverse HUB Value-Added Services, spanning voice, messaging, mobile Internet and mobile advertising. Comverse HUB is a synergistic framework that enables service providers to maximise their business performance and augment their position in the market.
