Nokia partners with América Móvil

Through this agreement, the Nokia Messaging solution will be available to América Móvil customers in seven countries before the end of the year. América Móvil is the first operator to announce a Latin America-wide offering of Nokia Messaging to its customers.

"Messaging is ready for exponential growth in Latin America. As the leading operator in Latin America, we will be leading in this space," said Marco Quatorze, Head of Value Added Services, América Móvil. "Collaboration with Nokia in the messaging space is one of the strategies we are pursuing to drive this growth."

Blanca Juti, Nokia Vice President for the América Móvil Account, said: "We are delighted to make this announcement with América Móvil. This collaboration is a good example of how Nokia is extending its vision of ‘Connecting People’. Together with América Móvil, Nokia Messaging will deliver on the promise of mobile messaging for everyone in the region."

Through Nokia Messaging, América Móvil customers will be able to aggregate and manage multiple email accounts while on the move in a single application, using a very intuitive user interface. The Nokia Messaging solution is simple to set up and consumers can access up to 10 personal email accounts. Many users want to enjoy the flexibility of different accounts for each of their communities. With Nokia Messaging, people get the benefit of real time messaging and are able to read, send, forward and reply to emails, view subfolders, download and read attachments and also attach files to emails in real time using a Nokia device.

América Móvil and Nokia have agreed to launch Nokia Messaging first in five countries this summer with the Nokia E63, Nokia E71 Black, Nokia E72 and Nokia E75. These devices will include the license for Nokia Messaging, which will be promoted in attractive data plans together with América Móvil.
