Barcelona, Spain – Telecom IT solution provider Tecnotree has announced it is partnering with Zain in Kuwait to transform its voicemail service into a visual application.  Providing a user experience that is similar to email, the new service provides a touchpoint for frequent subscriber interaction, to drive usage and revenues.

The service itself can be expanded to cover notifications, offers, 3^rd party advertising and related operator-hosted communications and content services. Visual Voicemail can truly be harnessed as a tool to re-engage with the subscriber to consume more operator aggregated services.

By partnering with Tecnotree we are giving our customers a best of breed voicemail service enabling them to manage their voicemails directly from iPhone and Android devices.
