Vodafone Essar has launched Voice SMS service in 16 circles across India. With this service, a Vodafone customer, prepaid and postpaid, can send a Voice SMS message to a mobile subscriber, anywhere in India, for a fixed price of 75 paise per minute. To send a message, a Vodafone subscriber has to dial * and the mobile number of the person to whom he wishes to send the message to, and speak for 30 seconds and disconnect. If the recipient is a Vodafone subscriber, he will receive a text SMS notification and can dial *0* to hear the Voice SMS. Old Voice SMS can be retrieved by dialing *1*. He also has the option of replying, forwarding, saving or deleting the Voice SMS messages. Subscribers who are not on Vodafone network will get a text SMS notification with an embedded DirectListen number which, when dialed, takes them to the message directly. The message recipient can opt to reply after listening to the Voice SMS. Listening to the Voice SMS for the first time is free of charge. Subsequent retrieval of a Voice SMS is charged at 75 paise per minute. Replying to and forwarding a Voice SMS will also be charged at 75 paise. Harit Nagpal, Director Marketing and New Business at Vodafone Essar says, "We are delighted that our subscribers will now have another option of reaching out to their friends, family and business associates." |
