HulloMail™ (www.hullomail.com),
the new hybrid voicemail and email communications technology, is now
taking its service offering to the mainstream wireless marketplace by
announcing today the launch of its highly anticipated Blackberry app,
that offers users the benefits of a fully integrated “voice-email”
service.
HulloMail, which converts standard voicemails into digital MP3 files to
be permanently saved, emailed, shared, referenced, and enjoyed, offers
wireless users the quickest, easiest way to manage their voicemail
communications from virtually any mobile device, standard landline phone
or email account, regardless of the selected operator. The service
essentially replaces traditional voicemail with new, more user efficient
voice-emails.
The feature-rich Blackberry app is now live and available for free
download from the HulloMail site for new and existing Blackberry
users with the Blackberry Bold, Blackberry Tour, and Blackberry Curve™
8900 models. Users can visit www.hullomail.com
from their Blackberry to obtain early access. The app will additionally
be available shortly on the Blackberry App World micro-site at http://appworld.blackberry.com.
By downloading the app, Blackberry users will be able to enjoy the
convenience of receiving and playing voice-emails directly from their
inbox; the ease of being always “on” and being notified of any missed
calls (even in areas with no or limited mobile reception); the ability
to share, delete or keep voicemails forever at the simple click of a
button; and the benefit of greater personalization as they are able to
instantly see photos of the person, from their personal Contacts, who is
calling them.
Additionally, HulloMail for Blackberry delivers all of the standard
HulloMail features including message list/media playback, sender call
back, push notification, full syncing capabilities with IMAP 4 accounts
and integration with Google contacts or local phone contacts, email
account configuration, greeting and password configuration, and other
user interface benefits to streamline easy access to and management of
received voice-emails. The HulloMail service also works with a user’s
existing mobile number – a huge advantage for mobile consumers not
wanting the burden and expense of a number change.
“HulloMail is the future of voicemail technology,” said Andy Munarriz,
founder and CEO of HulloMail. “Today’s busy consumers, who have access
to the latest communications tools in every other area of their mobile
life, don’t want their voicemails to be hidden in a black box on a
network to which they have no direct access. They want their messages to
be easily trackable and manageable in a common inbox where they can
personally handle them in a streamlined manner whenever they want to.
With HulloMail, we are taking the storage of voicemail directly to the
end user where it rightfully belongs.”
“The rollout of the HulloMail service for Blackberry is a major app
introduction for us and represents a significant new direction for the
company,” explained Munarriz. “Our initial rollout of the service in
both the U.S. and U.K. markets proved that the appetite for our product
– and the desire among communications consumers to streamline and
advance their voicemail functionality – is strong. We anticipate that
the availability of our service on Blackberry will greatly expand the
number of wireless users with access to HulloMail and we expect to see a
significant increase in the mainstream market trial and adoption of the
brand in both markets.” Added Munarriz: “We believe that ‘voice-email’
will lead to a true rebirth of voicemail and we are extremely excited
about the future of this technology.”
In addition to now being available for Blackberry, the HulloMail service
will roll out to additional major formats, including the iPhone, later
this fall.
