YouMail Upgrades IMMIX Wireless Voicemail for Free
IRVINE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
YouMail, Inc. (www.youmail.com), the mobile industry's premier
consumer voicemail service, today announced a partnership with IMMIX
Wireless (http://www.immix.com/), a Pennsylvania wireless carrier.
Under the terms of the agreement, YouMail will enable IMMIX Wireless
to provide its customers with free cell phone voicemail service at no
cost to IMMIX Wireless or its customers. All new IMMIX Wireless users
will now receive YouMail as their voicemail service, pre-provisioned
and ready-to-use on their handset.
YouMail offers control over every aspect of the voicemail
experience: users can determine which callers get which greetings and
when, how they are notified about voicemail, which callers can leave
voicemail and even how voicemails are picked up - in e-mail, online,
or over the phone.
Until now, wireless carriers have not been open to third party
voicemail services. By partnering with YouMail, IMMIX Wireless saves
money by avoiding costly voicemail providers, and is able to
differentiate its offerings and compete with larger, national carriers
by being the first wireless provider to offer YouMail's upgraded
voicemail experience to its customers. It also gives IMMIX the
potential to increase ARPU through increased call completion, customer
satisfaction and overall usage.
"As consumers continue to demand more out of their wireless
experience, customized voicemail services will become increasingly
important for carriers if they want to continue to compete," said Alex
Quilici, YouMail's CEO. "We're thrilled to be partnering with IMMIX
Wireless as our first wireless carrier partner. Through this
partnership, we provide IMMIX Wireless users with better voicemail and
demonstrate to other carriers the value of using YouMail as their
primary voicemail provider. YouMail not only saves wireless providers
from costly voicemail services, but provides their users with
unprecedented choice and control, and leverages the power of the
YouMail user community to continually improve that experience."
"At IMMIX Wireless we are always looking for new mobile device
offerings that can help us differentiate, increase ARPU, and reduce
churn," said Dennis Bloss, Vice President, IMMIX Wireless. "Voicemail
to text allows users to monitor messages as they are received, and
manage their voicemail quickly and effectively. YouMail is one of the
most exciting services we've seen in a long time and we're thrilled to
bring this to our retail customers."
