Logos Solvo’s TerraBook product is an innovative phone book service
that enables the Mobile Network Operator’s subscribers to create and
manage lists of contacts in a database kept by the MNO. The TerraBook
product is a solution to the limitations of the traditional SIM based
phonebook and subscribers can now save and access an unlimited number
of contacts from their mobile phones.
The TerraBook product allows subscribers to create a number of phonebooks on the TerraBook server, and enables them to access their phonebooks via their S@T enabled SIM card. Subscribers can create their own personal phonebooks, or can create shared phonebooks for access by others. Multiple phonebooks can be managed and shared in this way.
