Silent Communication (News - Alert), a provider of Device and Network Agnostic (DANA) mobile client solutions, announced that its visual voice-mail (Silent VVM) mobile client now powers MetroPCS’ new Visual Voice Mail and Visual Voice Mail Plus services.
The Silent VVM mobile client allows subscribers to manage voice mail easily as they do with SMS, MMS or e-mail. They can browse voice messages visually, listen to messages with one click, and respond to voice messages via call back, SMS, MMS or e-mail.
Additionally, the mobile client allows users to view text transcriptions of their voice messages, allowing customers to manage voice mail from end-to-end in environments where audio message playback is impractical, according to company officials.
Featuring the serverless Device and Network Agnostic (DANA) deployment technology from Silent Communication, the solution enables MetroPCS to roll out its full-featured Visual Voice Mail services to Android (News - Alert)-powered devices in its portfolio.

MetroPCS has rolled out its Silent VVM-powered Visual Voice Mail service on select devices. Some of them include the Samsung Galaxy Indulge, the LG Optimus M, the Huawei (News - Alert) Ascend and the Huawei Ascend TapouT Edition.
The company also announced that Silent VVM client is pre-integrated with MetroPCS' voice mail network provider, Alcatel Lucent (News - Alert), and voice-to-text provider, Yap.
“Silent Communication's unique ability to provide high-value mobile services like visual voice mail affords our customers numerous competitive advantages,” said Silent Communication CEO Max Bluvband, in a statement. “With Silent's DANA technology, customers are able to speed time to market with visual voice mail and eliminate resource-intensive, OS-specific application development cycles.”
“This uniform development and deployment model ensures that our customers’ subscribers with visual voice mail-supported plans can take advantage of this service immediately on any specified devices,” Bluvband added.
Silent Communication’s mobile clients can be seamlessly deployed to any mobile device, including Android, BlackBerry (News
- Alert), Symbian, Windows Mobile, Java and iOS operating systems. In March, the company announced the availability of Silent VVM for the Brew MP mobile operating system.
