Press Release, 16th February, 2009 at 8.30 am
Tecnomen and Digia today announces a partnership to enable Visual Voicemail service for S60 smartphone software on Symbian OS. The partnership takes advantage of Tecnomen's Messaging solutions and Digia's competencies in smartphone client development.
Visual Voicemail provides visual interactivity to end users and brings significant improvement to the voicemail user experience. Instead of calling a voicemail mailbox to retrieve and manage voicemail messages and personal settings, end users are able to perform all voicemail tasks directly from the intuitive and highly functional Visual Voicemail client application embedded in the handset.
"We have seen the impact and outstanding reception the Visual Voicemail service has had since the introduction of the Apple iPhone. Being able to provide the same service now for other smartphone platforms such as S60 together with Digia is a great step forward for Tecnomen in the voicemail evolution", says Miika Reinikka, VP Messaging Business Unit, Tecnomen.
“Digia welcomes its partnership with Tecnomen in the creation of a Visual Voicemail solution as an exciting opportunity. We’re seeing more and more demand for applications that can bring a seamless end-to-end service experience to the mobile device. The new Visual Voicemail for the S60 is a perfect example of such an end-to-end service, enabled by a smart mobile client”, says Jari-Pekka Heikkilä, VP Product Creation Services, Digia.
The partnership enables Tecnomen to provide its customers with a full Visual Voicemail solution for mass market smartphones and to bring added value to its customers.
Come and see the new Visual Voicemail for S60 at the Mobile World Congress 2009 in Fira Montjuïc, Barcelona, Spain during 16 – 19 February 2009, at the Tecnomen stand, Exhibition Hall 1, stand B01.
