Verizon LiveSource Wins Directory Assistance Contract From MetroPCS

Verizon LiveSource, a subsidiary of Verizon, has won a multi-dollar contract from MetroPCS, a no-contract wireless carrier, to provide directory assistance services.

Under the contract, LiveSource offers directory assistance service providing most advanced information services, including call completion, reverse lookup, movie and restaurant listings, weather forecasts, sports updates, Spanish language service, business category searches, and text messaging. With text messaging, once a listing is provided, it can be forwarded as a text message to a wireless handset.

Katherine Linder, president of Verizon LiveSource, said: “As the industry’s no. 1 provider of directory assistance service, our wholesale group gives customers the added edge they need to do business in this competitive environment. We are thrilled to work with Dobson Cellular Systems and assist with its business needs.”
