Why Mobile Operators Are Excited About Bubbly
Proven technology and infrastructure
Bubble Motion’s technology platform underlying voice-blogging has long been in operation across a global footprint of existing operators. In fact, more than 100 million individuals have exchanged more than 1 billion bubble messages across the existing network. Bubbly has come about by layering proven social networking behaviors on top of an already proven platform.
Giving customers what they want
There is no denying the hunger consumers have to connect with their world. Operators have recognized that delivering great customer experiences helps build long lasting (and profitable) relationships with loyal customers.
Incremental revenue
Declining revenue per subscriber (ARPU) is a reality for many operators in fiercely competitive markets (who isn’t?), and hence the importance of value added services (VAS) revenue for telecom operators. By offering features that drive phone usage (text and voice), operators are able to use Bubble Motion to drive new sources of revenues that have previously been untapped.
Easy implementation
Already deployed with major carriers, Bubble Motion has the technology and expertise to painlessly install and support the Bubbly infrastructure with you. Best of all, there are no client applications required for your customer-base, no special plans, no sign-up. For users it’s plug-and-play.
Minimal investment required
Leverage existing infrastructure investments (voice circuits, SMSC, billing systems).
Global inter-connection
Bubbly seamlessly connects users to operators around the globe.
Flexible deployment options
Deployed or centrally hosted options available for fast time-to-market.
