NMS Communications (NASDAQ: NMSS) and LogicaCMG (LSE:LOG) today announced yet another joint ringback commercial launch, asVodafone Greece, a subsidiary of Vodafone Group Plc, the world'slargest mobile telecommunications group, introduced its customers toringback tones. Vodafone Greece's ringback tone service is based onNMS's MyCaller(TM) personalized mobile entertainment platform(www.nmscommunications.com/MyCaller). As with previous Vodafoneoperator company deployments, LogicaCMG is responsible for theimplementation, integration and maintenance of the solution.

Ringback tones allow mobile phone subscribers to replace the usual"ring, ring" sound that callers hear with the latest music hits, soundclips and other media chosen by the subscriber. Ringback servicesfirst gained popularity in Asia, where they're now ubiquitous, andhave rapidly gained momentum across Europe and the United States asmore and more callers experience this new service through the music orsounds their friends have chosen for them to hear.

"The MyCaller ringback offering, with its high quality audio, hasbeen proven to perform flawlessly in operator networks around theworld, unlike other offerings in the market," said MichalisMelachrinidis, value added services senior manager of Vodafone Greece."Most important, the MyCaller-based service provides a fun andsatisfying experience for subscribers and their callers and is clearlya service to which customers quickly become quite attached."

Unlike ring tones, which reside in the handset and depend onhaving models with specific features, the ringback tone serviceresides on the telecom provider's network. Every mobile customer,regardless of handset, can use the ringback tones service, and all oftheir callers, regardless of whether they're calling from a fixed-lineor mobile phone, will hear the ringback that the customer has chosenfor them to hear. What the caller hears depends on the personalringback profile previously chosen and set by the Vodafone customer.The service allows customers to set their choices depending on who iscalling and when. Ringback preferences may be set easily via Web, SMS,IVR and the Vodafone live! portal.

"Customers are demanding personalized content to enhance theirmobile experience, and MyCaller is just the first of several mobilecontent applications NMS has planned for rollout in the next fewmonths," said Brian Demers, vice president, Mobile Applications, NMSCommunications. "As the preferred supplier of ringback solutions toVodafone globally, NMS and LogicaCMG are delighted to have anothersuccessful implementation within the Vodafone Group."
