Comverse introduces Who Called For Video

February 10, 2005

Comverse, a unit of Comverse Technology, and the supplier of software and systems enabling network-based multimedia enhanced communication services, announced the availability of Who Called for Video, a new service that delivers textual notification of a missed video call or videomail hang-ups along with the first frame of the video message. Leveraging the success of Comverse's Who Called missed call notification offering, Who Called for Video is a call completion service designed to generate wireless operator revenues.

While 3G operators strive to deliver comprehensive network coverage, Who Called for Video ensures that subscribers will receive missed call notification for video calls when the handset is off or out of 3G coverage. Available for both Videomail and non-Videomail subscribers, Who Called for Video is designed to help subscribers develop a high level of confidence in video calling.

"3G operators are seeking to capitalize on the growing number of video-enabled handsets by offering more video-based services," said Benny Einhorn, Chief Marketing Officer at Comverse. "This service complements Comverse's Video Communication & Entertainment service suite that includes Videomail, Mobile Video Portal and Video Fun Dial."
