“Welcome. My name is Rita and I’m going to help you configure your mailbox.” Rita is the personal assistant who will help Videomail users to configure their new message mailbox.
TMN has just launched Videomail, one more innovative 3rd generation service supported on video calls. It is unique in Portugal and one of the first of its kind to be launched in the world.
A little over three months ago TMN revolutionised mobile telecommunications with sight and sound in real time, when it launched the first i9 3G product, one of the first in the world to make video calls possible. One month later it launched the first video answering service. The launch today of a pioneering service such as Videomail will strengthen the attitude of the leading mobile phone operator in Portugal: permanent innovation geared to customers’ expectations and needs.
With TMN Videomail, any user of the video-call service can now leave video messages in the mailbox of customers who do not answer a video-call. The concept is similar to that of voicemail for voice calls, but Videomail allows people to receive and record video-calls in the mailbox. In other words, TMN customers can record any video they want their interlocutors to see and hear when leaving a video-message.
Rita is the personal assistant who will help Videomail users to configure their new message box. Rita interacts with the client or with whoever makes a video-call in a simple and objective manner to help them use the service.
Messages left following an unanswered voice call are also recorded in the same message box and in the same way as traditional voice-mail.
Consulting one’s Videomail box is free until 31 December in Portugal when using an i9 3G. The promotional tariffs for video-calls are also extended to the end of the year: 5 cents per minute in the TMN network and 39 cents per minute for the other Portuguese mobile networks.
At the same time as this launch TMN places on the market a new i9 3G mobile phone. The Samsung Z 105 costs 499.90 euros (VAT included) and is available in all TMN shops, with an additional discount at this moment of 10 euros when exchanged for another mobile phone.
