UPDATES MADE ON IVISIONMOBILE PLATFORM - 4/10/09

We are happy to announce the addition of several very important updates to the iVisionMobile platform that have added increased functionality to the user interface:

1. NAV2.0

• When creating new templates using Nav2.0 you will be shown a preview of the new menu that's been created. Check it out! This will make the Nav2.0 extremely easy to use as it provides a real-time display of the template you are creating.

2. Content Delivery: Our premium sms content delivery system has been modified/upgraded to account for the following carrier requirements:

• AT&T - All double optin requests are now conducted by OPPC (Off Portal Purchase Control)

• Verizon Wireless - Shortcodes that are provisioned for MMS can turn on the functionality to delivery content to Verizon Wireless handsets via MMS.
  
  
• T-Mobile "Bill After" - While this functionality can be turned on for all carriers, it is primarily built for t-mobile which requires that the premium billable MT be sent AFTER the content is successfully downloaded from the iVisionMobile server to a handset.

3. Campaign Composer

• Custom Data Merge: You can now merge custom data into your text blasts. This feature allows you to customize your outbound messages by merging data from your contacts such as "firstname" and any other relevant data fields directly into the text message being sent out.
  
  
• Duplicate Campaign: We've added a "duplicate" feature which allows users to duplicate campaigns by clicking on one button. Once you've duplicated your campaign, specify a new keyword and the rest of the information is copied over, including messages, contact info, etc.
