Omnitel, Lithuania´s largest carrier, launches new ring back tone service, PYPTONAI, based on a complete solution from the European Computer Telecoms Group (ECT)

After winning a global tender, ECT realised the new Omnitel service in Lithuania in just eight weeks

Munich, Vilnius, 06 October 2004 - Further reinforcing its presence in the Baltic region, the European Computer Telecoms Group (ECT), Europe´s market leader for intelligent value-added services for fixed and mobile networks, has provided a turnkey ring back tone solution for Omnitel. The ECT Group won the contract following a highly competitive global tender. As the general contractor for the complete service, the ECT Group has provided a customised solution with all user interfaces (Internet, WAP and SMS) in just eight weeks. ECT´s successful Ring Back Tone Service is already in use at large European mobile carriers like the Tele2 Group in Sweden and Vodafone D2 in Germany. ECT´s solution for Omnitel uses the call-dropback feature within their Nokia Network, thus eliminating so-called tromboning and maximising capacity within the network. "We are proud to be the first carrier in the Baltic States to offer this new innovative service to our customers. The ECT Group convinced us with its extremely short time-to-market, user friendly and cost efficient service. We expect the new service to be a big success," said Giedrius Makauskas, Marketing Director of Omnitel.

With the ECT Ring Back Tone Service, mobile customers can choose various songs, jokes or other sounds played to the person who calls them, while they also hear the familiar ring back tone. The service works regardless of who calls. Anyone who is an Omnitel mobile subscriber or has an Omnitel prepaid mobile card can use the service. The new service including a complete demonstration of the web interface can be seen at http://www.omni.lt/pyptonas

The ECT Group offers an easily customisable and scalable solution for the ring back tone service, having realised several successful projects for major carriers across Europe, including Vodafone D2 in Germany and Tele2/Comviq in Sweden. The solution includes network interfaces to the respective carrier´s post-paid and prepaid billing and provisioning system, a statistics package, as well as a content provider interface developed by ECT.
