Making Visual Voicemail Available for Mass-Market Use in Norway Paves Way for Significant Global Growth

Comverse today announced that NetCom, a leading Norwegian mobile operator and part of the TeliaSonera group, will become the first operator to offer visual voicemail service to subscribers with Sony Ericsson handsets.
Comverse Visual Voicemail revolutionizes the voicemail experience with an information-rich inbox for voice messages that lets users click to hear and handle voice messages. Highly intuitive for today's Internet-nurtured users, the service has already been launched by operators around the globe on more than 50 different handset models. Upon deployment, many operators have reported that the average revenue per user (ARPU) for voicemail services has increased 30 to 50 percent.

As a result of visual voicemail's surging popularity around the world, Comverse announced last October that it was teaming up with Sony Ericsson to provide visual voicemail on its handsets for residential and business users. With visual voicemail now available on its handsets in Norway, Sony Ericsson is positioned to support the service for millions of users in other countries.

"I am happy to note that NetCom is distinguished as not only a regional leader, but as a global leader," said NetCom Messaging Services Manager Thorbjørn Rusnes. "Our launch last year of Comverse Visual Voicemail for the iPhone was extremely well received by our iPhone subscribers. The service is in such high demand that we were eager to extend availability to owners of other popular handsets. We are proud to inform our many users that they can now be the first in the world to enjoy visual voicemail on a Sony Ericsson handset."

Comverse Visual Voicemail is boosting voicemail usage and revenues for more than 40 operators around the world. "An integral aspect of our leadership is our strategic cooperation with leading handset vendors like Sony Ericsson to make the best possible visual voicemail experience available to the broadest number of people," said Dror Bin, President of Global Sales at Comverse, a supplier of software and systems enabling value-added messaging and content services, converged billing and active customer management, and IP communications.

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