Ask any cricket enthusiast about the delight of listening to cricket commentary when on the move. You cannot replace
it. And now you can hear this on your mobile. Because your mobile is not just to make calls. The youth today are using
it to date and to chat. Others turn to the mobile for songs, news alerts, cricket updates and more.
And leading this revolution of bringing life to your lives is OnMobile. Ring tone and caller ringback tones are a way of life
now. But that's not all. By combining SMS, IVR with speech recognition and WAP technologies, ensuring multilingual
support and offering services over GSM as well as CDMA, OnMobile ensures a rich and delightful user experience,
making services more relevant and easy to use.
Over a million songs are searched and accessed every day, across the globe. In Trichy, call and you will be greeted in
Tamil. You can also download songs, hear horoscopes, get updates on matches, weather and news in Tamil. Local
language. Local flavour. On your mobile. In Malay in Malaysia, in Mandarin in Singapore.

Reality shows rule the roost today in the entertainment world. And mobile phones have become
tools of empowerment. Some of the biggest shows on Indian television - KBC, Indian Idol, Fame
Gurukul, Kya Aap Panchvi Paas Se Tez Hain, Dus Ka Dum and many, many more - are successful
because of you, and because of the mobile. Imagine any of these without the power to vote or
participate!
And this empowerment is not restricted to reality shows. By leveraging Voice, DTMF, WAP and
SMS interaction modes, OnMobile has reinvented the way M-Commerce transactions are done.
A farmer gets prices from the mandi directly on his mobile. A moviegoer finds the availability of
tickets and books them from his phone. Paying utility bills. Booking airline and railway tickets. The
mobile revolution is on. Shopping, commerce, matrimonial services.
Empowering you.

OnMobile's innovations have taken the mobile to another league all together. M-Search is one such
innovation. Search for Jodhaa Akbar. Search for Madonna's Hard Candy. And it's intelligent searching.
You don't need to enter Mission Impossible (MI). MI will get you the result equally efficiently. You
make a spelling mistake and we will ignore it. To facilitate a voice search, we have in-built voice
modulation and filters to recognize different accents and tones and by-pass pronunciation errors. And
you can search across platforms, SMS, Voice or WAP. Across 10 languages. And more.
Our Phone Backup facility allows you to safely copy and store in the network all your personal data
including pictures, contacts, messages and applications stored in the phone.
Apart from having a portal and customer care interface, Phone Backup allows for automatic backup
and can be upgraded with new formats.
