Nokia today introduced a new tool that lets prepaid subscribers keep track of their balance and call expenses. The Nokia Prepaid Tracker is installed by network operators and after each call or transaction, it sends automatically details about the subscriber's account balance to their phone. Support is already built into the newly launched Nokia 1110 and Nokia 1600 phones. In addition to their account balance, subscribers can also view information on the account's expiration date, the cost of the last call or SMS, and the amount of the last prepaid recharge. Sanjay Bhasin, director, New Growth Markets, Networks, Nokia, noted the release of the software coincides with the signing up of the one billionth prepaid phone user, accounting for more than half of all mobile subscribers.
'The solution can improve the user experience of many of these prepaid subscribers by allowing them to see exactly how much their calls cost, which reduces the fear of unexpectedly running out of credit and even encourages subscribers to share their phones with friends - with the assurance that they can be correctly reimbursed for calls,' he said.
