PhoneFusion has been awarded the 2008 Telephony Innovation Award for Most Innovative Mobile Service for its Fusion Voicemail Plus offering. PhoneFusion finished in a tie for this award with ChaCha.

Fusion Voicemail Plus is a free mobile handset application that provides an innovative user interface to visually display, select and listen to voicemail messages. It integrates voicemail messages from multiple voicemail systems into a central location, displaying text headers containing unique identifiers, including true caller ID names. With a simple tap of a button, users can quickly scroll, select and listen to messages in order of choice. The service runs on top of a broadband data offering from a wireless provider.

Telephony's Innovation Awards are in their second year of recognizing creative service creation and deployment in the telecom service provider space. The awards are open to all service providers including telecom and cable companies, wireless service providers, managed and hosted service providers, ISPs and applications service providers. The awards are judged by members of Telephony's editorial staff and by guest judges. This year's guest judging panel included Daniel Briere, CEO of TeleChoice, Vince Vittore, program manager with the Yankee Group and Cindy Whelan, analyst with Current Analysis.
