One thing about headsets these days is that they cater to a specific platform and niche. And while many people need to be informed on the limitations for some headsets that they carry, TCM Mobile takes all that away. TCM Mobile unveils a new dual band headset that can be used over GSM cellular networks when users are outside the TCM coverage and Cellular VoIP networks. The new dual band headsets from TCM Mobile will make its debut this July.

By default, dual band headsets are set to cater to GSM cellular networks by default. With these new dual band headsets from TCM Mobile it is the opposite. They use the Cellular VoIP networks by default. The same technology may soon be covering a wide area of network if negotiations push through. Just the same, TCM Mobile is deploying on a gradual basis to provide them the convenience of carrying just one device without any problems along the way.

“While our new handset is scheduled for release in two to three months, we can currently take any existing dual band handset available on the market and, together with its manufacturer, embed TCM’s revolutionary, patented software into it. This represents a significant opportunity for these manufacturers to grow sales of their own branded handsets in conjunction with the deployment of TCM’s Cellular VoIP network,” said a TCM Mobile senior executive.

After the celebrated announcement of the iPhone OS 3.0, experts are predicting a significant surge as far as in A2P MMS campaigns from mobile marketers, advertisers and content providers.

“All along, interest in A2P MMS has been growing rapidly. With Apple’s announcement today, the A2P MMS flood gates will soon open - not only to the iPhone but across all handsets and carriers as well. The timing of the announcement couldn’t be better because it coincides with improvements in A2P MMS interoperability and our enhanced platform features for MMS deployment,” said Eicher.

Skycore delivers messaging and content primarily using MMS since nearly every phone launched during the past several years has been MMS enabled – notably excluding the iPhone. Skycore had to develop a work-around for the iPhone where, instead of an MMS, it would deliver content using SMS with Web links.

One of the major drawbacks of SMS is its 140-160 character message limit. Alternatively, MMS enables messaging thousands of characters, including hyperlinks, along with images, audio and video.

“With the iPhone supporting MMS, marketers will be able to push a ubiquitous, rich, multimedia experience directly to the inbox. And although SMS is currently ubiquitous and less expensive than MMS, the gap is closing and experienced mobile marketers are starting to integrate MMS into their upcoming campaigns,” added Eicher.
