Leading Edge Wireless Games Now Available From Telecom Mobile
Telecom Mobile is bringing more entertainment to its customers by providing a suite of leading edge wireless games on
its 027 mobile phones.
Telecom Mobile is the first New Zealand carrier to have signed licensing agreement with Air Game Wireless, a Canadian
company that is a leading edge creator of wireless interactive fun.
Air Games are offered exclusively to Telecom Mobile customers with WAP-enabled handsets (operating on the 027 network).
Telecom Mobile customers can now compete in interactive games playing head to head with other mobile phone users around
the world.

and orchestrating their ascent to the top of the galactic rankings. To win players must effectively manage their
diplomatic, domestic, financial, and military affairs.
The advanced wireless game engine provides an extremely high level of interactivity through an integrated messaging
system. It also has a unified global ranking system that casts mobile phone players from across the world into direct
combat, and diplomatic intrigue.
There's also ChUcHi, a loveable virtual pet; Air Casino - a play-for-fun mobile casino (Blackjack, Red Dog, Battle Royal
and Slots); Air Quickies - short, quick bursts of wireless entertainment, including Hangman, ABBA puzzle, Russian
Shooter; and Air Books - a compilation of short stories, horoscopes and interactive adventures.
“The global success of AtomicDove is demonstrative of the product’s ability to engage, and inspire end-user wireless
consumption,” says Air Games Managing Director Frederick Ghahramani.
“We’re very excited that Telecom Mobile has chosen to bring AtomicDove to New Zealand, and we look forward to building
on the success of this product in the New Zealand market through partnering with Telecom Mobile,” he said.
“Wireless games are extremely popular with our customers, and our leadership in this space offers them the chance to
enjoy some of the world ’ s most innovative mobile games. The most compelling element to this offering is that people
can pitch their skills against players from across New Zealand as well as around the world,” said Nic Holdgate, Manager,
Wireless Data Group, Telecom Mobile.
“High-end wireless games like AtomicDove are great examples of the premium online content Telecom Mobile has attracted
since the launch of its djuiceTM wireless Internet services,” he says.
Telecom Mobile is also catering for its customers without WAP capability, with the launch of a number of SMS games in
the near future. These will be available to all customers with handsets capable of sending text messages.
