Comverse has announced that it is working with Sony Ericsson to provide visual voicemail on its handsets for residential and business users.
Visual voicemail’s global popularity is growing because it enhances the traditional voicemail experience. All voicemail messages are displayed in an in-box, whose email-like interface provides such key information as date, time, length of message, caller number and identity, when available. Users can scan the messages, click to hear new and previously heard messages in any order, and then reply, forward or save messages.
 “Our strategic cooperation with handset leaders like Sony Ericsson helps ensure that new handsets can offer the most attractive and user-friendly visual voicemail experience to the broadest number of people. 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.
With more than two thirds of commercial launches worldwide, Comverse is the visual voicemail market leader. 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 maximize their business performance and augment their position in the market.
