Comverse announced that NetCom, Norway’s second largest mobile operator and part of the TeliaSonera group, will become the first operator to offer visual voicemail service to subscribers with Sony Ericsson handsets. 

“I am happy to note that NetCom is distinguished as not only a regional leader, but as a global leader,” said NetCom Messaging Services Manager Thorbjørn Rusnes. “Our launch last year of Comverse Visual Voicemail for the iPhone was extremely well received by our iPhone subscribers. The service is in such high demand that we were eager to extend availability to owners of other popular handsets. We are proud to inform our many users that they can now be the first in the world to enjoy visual voicemail on a Sony Ericsson handset.”

Comverse Visual Voicemail is part of the Comverse HUB Value-Added Services, which spans voice, messaging, mobile Internet and mobile advertising.
