Extending the Reach of SMS
Overview  |  Key Features  |  How it Works
OnMobile's Voice Messenger Solution addresses the limitations of conventional SMS messages such as character limitation, lack of support for local languages, etc, and provides mobile users with a greater freedom of expression (emotions, language and message duration). OnMobile's Voice SMS allows users to send voice messages in the form of audio files that are sent to the recipients. The conventional "Store and Forward" mechanism is used for sending these messages, thereby ensuring messages only get sent during the non-peak hours.
 
How Operators can Benefit from Voice SMS
Flexibility in pricing as compared to SMS or airtime usage since Voice SMS can be positioned as a premium service
Customers can be offered better value, especially for long-distance communication, thereby reducing customer churn
Service can be extended to conventional landlines to increase the coverage
Better utilization of network and ability to avoid congesting using Store & Forward technologies
Real-time end-to-end circuit connection between the two parties not required, thereby reducing infrastructure costs
With support for multiple languages, the usage of Voice SMS can be easily increased, leading to higher revenues
 
Operators can further customize the Voice SMS application such that:
 
Outbound calls are not made to roaming recipients
Duration of the voice message is increased from the default 45 seconds
Recipients can discard the message immediately or after a specific interval of time based on the duration set by the operators
