Oberhausen, Germany (ots)
conVISUAL, the first Visual Messaging Service Provider, and Yahoo! Deutschland have decided to collaborate. In a first step, Yahoo! Handy has introduced three of conVISUAL's mobile messaging services: Downloading of logos and ringtones, the mobile Advent calendar and the mobile multimedia greeting cards.
conVISUAL is a specialist in developing visual messaging services for today's and tomorrow's mobile phone networks. With its Multimedia Message Broker (MMB) platform, conVISUAL supports all common messaging formats like SMS, Smart Messaging, Enhanced Messaging (EMS) and WAP, in addition to upcoming mobile phone standards like the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and i-mode. As a result of the collaboration with Yahoo! Deutschland, Yahoo! Handy users can avail of conVISUAL's innovative multimedia services.
"conVISUAL is making multimedia services accessible to the mass market over the Yahoo! Handy portal. Mobile phone users can now enjoy unrestricted communication, irrespective of the technological specifications of their mobile devices," explains Torsten Jüngling, Sales Director at conVISUAL.
Logos and ringtones based on conVISUAL's MMB platform are immediately available from Yahoo! Handy. At logos.yahoo.de and klingeltoene.yahoo.de, customers can arrange their mobile phones as they please. conVISUAL will provide Yahoo! with constantly updated content and assume responsibility behind the scenes for the complete service.
In time for Christmas, conVISUAL has launched one of the newest applications at Yahoo!: The first ever mobile Advent calendar for all mobile phone users. The mobile Advent calendar is the ideal gift for any mobile phone enthusiast. From December 1st to 24th, a Christmas greeting is received on the mobile phone in the form of a saying, logo and/or ringtone. It does not matter what messaging standard the device supports - conVISUAL automatically converts the content into the appropriate format and sends it as a Smart Message, Enhanced Message (EMS) or SMS text.
Simultaneously to introducing the mobile Advent calendar, conVISUAL also presents the mobile multimedia greeting cards. The customer simply selects one of the many images available at smsgruesse.yahoo.de, adds a personal text and sends the greeting card to a recipient of his/her choice. Again, the technological specifications of the recipient's mobile phone are irrelevant for this application as conVISUAL optimally matches the content with the various messaging formats.
