- Russia's
Vimpelcom recently deployed Invigo's SMS Welcome Roaming platform,
enabling it to automatically send greetings SMSs to inbound and outbound
roamers as soon as they register in the visited network.
The greeting SMS contains valuable
information for the visiting subscribers such as promotional messages and
segmented offers based on visited regions. Welcome information is sent in the
language of the roaming mobile subscriber.
"This project was very successful,
largely because of Invigo's efficient participation and devotion. We
all believe here that Invigo have chosen the right customer relationship

Welcome is the Roamers' first encounter with the visited network and
hence is an efficient means to keep roamers connected while delivering useful
information. Invigo's SMS Welcome service delivers instantaneous SMS
greetings to visiting subscribers". He added "We are very proud that our product has been
selected by Vimpelcom, Russia's leading mobile
provider, and we believe that this will lead to a long-term relationship, due
to Invigo's commitment to excellence."
