 Following
the success of its ring back
tone service (Ringuppsignaler),
launched in Sweden in May 2004,
the Tele2 Group rolled out
Ringoppsignaler in Norway in
the spring of 2005. After the
ECT Group – the market
leader for intelligent value-added
services in fixed and mobile
networks – provided the
complete solution for Ringuppsignaler
in 2004, Tele2/Comviq became
the first company in Scandinavia
to offer its customers the
innovative service. Now, with
a centralised installation
for the ring back tone solution
in Sweden, the service will
be delivered to Tele2’s
customers in Norway. The solution
can also be offered in additional
countries with virtually no
extra CAPEX and OPEX.
With the ECT Ring Back Tone
Application, mobile customers
can choose various songs, jokes,
or other sounds played to the
person who calls them, while
they also hear the familiar
ring back tone. The service
works regardless of who calls.
All Tele2 Norway mobile phone
customers can use the service.
The new service, including
a complete demonstration of
the web interface, can be seen
at www.tele2.no .
The Tele2 Group, Europe’s
leading alternative telecommunications
supplier of fixed-line and
mobile telephony solutions,
can now expand to tap into
the ring back tone revenue
streams and further continue
to differentiate its mobile
services from the competition
in Norway.
There will be no monthly subscription
fee for Ringoppsignaler until
June 1; after this there will
be a subscription fee of 19
NOK (EUR 2.30) per month, with
each ring back tone priced
between 20 NOK (EUR 2.42) and
30 NOK (EUR 3.63). Tele2 is
offering content from multiple
content providers for the service.
The mobile-user can set the
ring back tones based on the
person calling, as well as
the time of day and date. Subscribers
can buy and configure their
personalised ring back tone
over a wide variety of user
interfaces, including the Internet,
WAP, and SMS.
