Comverse Visual Voicemail for iPhone Selected as a Finalist for the 2008 GSMA Global Mobile Award for Best Mobile Messaging Service
Comverse at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona was selected as a finalist for the 2008 GSMA Global Mobile Award in the Best Mobile Messaging Service category. They showed us not only their iPhone Visual VoiceMail but also other demos for different types of handsets for non iPhone operators and segments.
This is probably the single most important breaktrhough innovation in VoiceMail since it was launched. Interestingly, the breakthrough came form an outsider, breaking all the rules to which both operators and handset vendors had played for years.
As we have reported here before, there are strong rumors that Telcel Mexico and Claro Brazil are next in line to launch the iPhone. Given the size of the market and the dominance of both operators, it's a non brainer Apple might want to partner with them. The question is, will Venezuela and Argentina also be considered, given the size and importance of both markets. Venezuela, for example, is expected to be similar in size as Brazil for messaging services, according to Pyramid (total revenues).
With this information at hand, we are also wondering if Movistar Mexico, Vivo and Personal Argentina will rush to launch Visual Voice Mail before America Movil hits the market with the iPhone?
