The Comverse Mobile Portal features a dynamic homepage with simple icons, elegantly displaying only the content and services desired by the individual user. Homepage content is updated according to rules set by the subscriber, user location, or relevant triggers such as time of day, events, and personal calendar. The Comverse Mobile Portal's simple user interface provides detailed, specific content that appears directly on the display with minimal user clicking. The dynamic nature of the Mobile Portal homepage enriches the ability of service providers to make alliances with content and application providers. The Comverse Mobile Portal integrates an attractive suite of mobile Internet applications including Unified Messaging Having access to e-mail, voice mail and faxes via a common computer application or by telephone.
