A new mobile operator in Vietnam has deployed a Comverse Technology Inc. (Pink Sheets: CMVT.PK) billing system.
Comverse said today that GTEL Mobile has deployed the Comverse's ONE billing & active customer management solution, a converged billing system that will offer flexible billing models.
Established last July, GTEL Mobile is a joint venture between Vietnam’s GTEL Corporation and VimpelCom (NYSE: VIP), a telecommunications services provider in Eastern Europe. GTEL Mobile is also using several Comverse value-added services, including SMS Center for text messaging, MMS Center for multimedia messaging, Messaging Gateway, Mobile Internet Gateway, Next-Generation Voicemail, Call Completion and Ringback Tone services.
GTEL Mobile CEO Alexey Blyumin said that Comverse's presence in Vietnam and its track record of successful deployments of its billing solutions and value-added services with other VimpelCom affiliates were key factors in GTEL's decision.
GTEL Mobile will use “Beeline VN” as the brand-name to launch in the Vietnamese telecommunications market.
Shares in Comverse closed yesterday at $8.40.
