MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Canada—Canadian vendor Redknee said it partnered with Germany’s mobile operator Viag Interkom to deploy real-time short message rating services.
Redknee said Viag has enhanced its prepaid service through Redknee’s OASIS line of billing and unified voice and messaging accounting products. Viag customers now have one account for voice and SMS messaging, rather than the two accounts needed prior to introducing the unified system, and are using short messaging services (SMS) more often.
Viag can capture revenue from a range of new data services, including downloadable ring tones, picture messaging and content-specific services.
“Real-time rating services is as critical component for the prepaid market,” said Rubens Rahim, vice president of product development for Redknee.
