Smith Micro and Boost Mobile Deliver Feature-Rich Visual
Voicemail Experience
Users can manage voicemail like email with text
transcription option
ALISO VIEJO, CA - May 16, 2012 - Smith Micro Software, Inc.
(NASDAQ: SMSI), a leading provider of wireless and mobility
solutions, today announced that its Visual Voicemail
platform will be available to Boost Mobile subscribers
on May 31 with the launch of the no-contract wireless
provider's first 4G Android device, the HTC EVO Design 4G™.
With Visual Voicemail, voicemail messages are managed like
email, allowing users to scroll through and listen to
messages in any order, forward or reply to messages via
email or text, and save messages directly onto the memory
card of their mobile device. Voicemail-to-Text
transcription will also be offered for a monthly fee.
With
Voicemail-to-Text transcription, Smith Micro simplifies
the process of checking voicemail by converting the voice
message into text and delivering the message to the mobile
device or email inbox of Boost Mobile subscribers. Using
this optional service, subscribers can read voicemail
messages at school, at a concert, in a meeting, or anywhere
that listening is inconvenient. Boost Mobile customers with
the HTC EVO Design will have access to Visual Voicemail,
and the optional Visual Voicemail-to-Text transcription
service for $1.99 per month, with the launch of HTC EVO
Design 4G on May 31.

offer their subscribers a more convenient, flexible way to
manage their voicemail inbox that saves time and
facilitates message sharing with features like email
forwarding and Voice SMS," said Jim
Mains, Senior Vice President of Global Products and
Programs, Smith Micro Software. "Through the convenient
in-app purchase of Voicemail-to-Text transcription, Smith
Micro helps turn voicemail from a cost center into a
revenue generator."
