SOMA[TM] Enabled Carrier Solutions: Smaato Ad Call Display[TM]

For the first time, three international carriers are currently testing Smaato Ad Call Display (Smaato-ACD[TM]), the new Smaato solution for innovative and non-intrusive advertising formats for "incoming call display" and "after call display". Smaato-ACD[TM] offers a unique way for carriers to serve advertising which increases brand exposure and interaction on mobile devices.
