Inset is Indra Åsander of TeliaSonera who says "SMS, is one of the most important steps in the development of GPRS usage". As the first mobile operator in the world, TeliaSonera Sweden is offering customers the possibility to use GPRS roaming services throughout Western Europe*, the United States and the Baltic states. With new roaming agreements in these key regions, customers with GPRS-enabled mobile handsets can send pictures from trips in Europe or the U.S. through the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) as of today.
"MMS, the successor to SMS, is one of the most important steps in the development of GPRS usage, which is expected to grow considerably as more and more mobile handsets with cameras are introduced on the market. Now that there are no more barriers for customers, we believe usage of the MMS service will increase sharply," says Indra Åsander, head of the Consumer Segment at TeliaSonera Sweden. With the roaming agreements, TeliaSonera's mobile customers will be able to utilise the same GPRS services abroad as in Sweden. For example, users will be able to send vacation pictures home to Sweden much faster and more efficiently than before from a mobile handset with camera function, browse the Internet while in Manhattan, or send and receive e-mail on their mobiles in Tallinn or Riga. In addition to Western Europe, the U.S and the Baltic states, TeliaSonera has GPRS roaming agreements with operators in Poland, the Czech Republic, Russia, Israel and Hong Kong. |
