Eagle Mobile Joins Hands With Kirusa to Offer Voice SMS to Albanian Subscribers

TIRANA, ALBANIA and NEW PROVIDENCE, NJ -- (Marketwire) -- 01/05/10 -- Eagle Mobile, the newest Albanian mobile operator, has launched Voice SMS service across Albania based on the pioneering Voice SMS technology from Kirusa, the world's leading vendor of Voice SMS and a leading developer of mobile value added services.

Voice SMS allows the subscribers to send messages by voice, eliminating the need to type. It enables the subscribers to communicate faster, with greater ease, and convey emotions as compared to limitations of text messages. Use of Voice SMS by mobile subscribers is gaining global relevance for its benefits in surpassing the limitations of text messages.

Commenting on the launch, Alban Tartari, Head of Public & Media Relations Department of Eagle Mobile Albania, said, "We are thrilled to launch Voice SMS and to become the first operator in Europe to provide the Voice SMS solution to our subscribers. We believe that mobile users will find this service a value-add in their day to day conversations. Kirusa was chosen for this product as it is the leading VAS player in this segment and was the only one to have a bouquet of advanced revenue generating features to choose from."

Eagle Mobile subscribers just have to dial '*' followed by the number of the person they wish to send the message to, and speak a short message for up to 30 seconds in any language. The recipient gets a notification message from the sender and can click on a DirectListen(TM) number to directly listen to and reply to the Voice SMS left for him. Eagle mobile subscribers can also dial *0* to hear new voice messages, or retrieve previously listened voice messages by dialing *1*. Voice SMS messages can be replied to, forwarded, saved, or deleted. To send a Voice SMS, Eagle Mobile users pay a price of 16.2 lek including VAT (approximately 0.17 USD).
