MTN South Africa Expands Messaging Options With New Service From Movius Interactive Corporation
leader in messaging, collaboration and mobile media solutions, today announced
that MTN South Africa has rolled out VoiceMail Xpress service to all MTN ‘Pay
as you Go’ customers as part of their latest messaging system upgrade. This
new service, enabled by Movius’s next generation messaging platform Versera
ICE, gives callers to MTN subscribers more choice in message notification by
allowing them to either leave a voicemail or SMS message.
Previously prepaid subscribers had to choose between two options; regular
voicemail or an SMS notification service (called VoiceMail Lite) which sent
subscribers information about missed calls but had no ability to record a
message. VoiceMail Xpress brings these two services together. Now when a
subscriber is unavailable, the caller is given the choice to either leave a
voicemail message or to simply send an SMS with their phone number indicating
who called. VoiceMail Xpress improves communication and therefore the overall
value of MTN’s service to its customers.
VoiceMail Xpress is perfectly suited to a mixed text and voice market such
as
whom use SMS on a regular basis. With a simple interface and no need for user
guides or passwords, it is also ideal for emerging markets where adoption
challenges may have existed with traditional voicemail.
commented, “VoiceMail Xpress makes our customers’ lives easier and gives them
greater choice in communication. This new capability from Movius enables us
to continue to lead the market with innovative messaging solutions to meet the
various, unique needs of our market.”
“In such a competitive market as
is a great differentiator. This alongside the capability to encourage call
completion and increase the chance of subscribers making a return call, makes
VoiceMail Express a perfect solution for the region,” said
Senior Vice President, Products and Technology of Movius Interactive
Corporation. “With the ongoing success of our mobile messaging solutions, we
are delighted that MTN South Africa has chosen to deploy our platform service
to its subscribers.”
This new voicemail capability is one of a number of new services available
with the latest software release (3.3) of Versera ICE. This new release also
supports a new auto-attendant functionality and expanded message notification
as well as a number of features to provide carriers great flexibility and
control to meet the needs of the fast changing mobile telephony market.
