Comverse has revealed that Vodafone Portugal, which has more than five million mobile phone users, has become the country’s first operator to offer visual voicemail for the iPhone.
Vodafone Portugal began offering Comverse Visual Voicemail on the iPhone earlier this year. Instead of dialing in to retrieve voice messages, users can see information about each voice message, such as the sender, time of call and duration, in a message inbox on their mobile phone, and then click and listen to messages in any order. Users also can delete, forward and reply to any message.
“This deployment with Vodafone Portugal is a significant step forward for visual voicemail in its progress towards becoming the next-generation voicemail standard around the world,” says Dror Bin, President, Global Products and Operations at Comverse. “Visual voicemail delivers so many benefits for both users and operators that its potential for rapid market growth in the near future is strong in all regions.”
Visual Voicemail is part of the Comverse Voice HUB, a single platform for multiple voice-related services, such as next-generation voicemail, ringback tones, and call completion. Operators can reap cost savings from the Voice HUB’s unified platform, says Comverse, because it reuses major components and takes advantage of centralised operation, maintenance and provisioning.
