PARIS, January 18 /PRNewswire/ -- StreamWIDE, the specialist in next generation, value-added telephony solutions for telecom carriers, stated today that they have been providing visual voicemail capabilities to SFR Réunion smartphone users since December 2009.

Visual voicemail enables mobile subscribers to access voice messages directly from the handset with an email-like display that connects with the user's contact list, allowing subscribers to view messages quickly, easily, and intuitively.

We are happy to offer this must-have feature to our subscribers, said Yves GAUVIN, Products and Services Marketing Manager for SFR Reunion. Thanks to StreamWIDE technology and know-how, we can now deliver a refreshing voicemail experience to our smartphone users and be the first operator in the Africa zone to provide this service to our customers.

This expansion deal is a strong proof of trust from SFR Réunion; it also stresses the quality of StreamWIDE components, declared Pierre-Claude Grall, VP of Sales for French-speaking countries at StreamWIDE.
