Tuesday, May 22, 2007:
MTNL has launched the world's first 'Convergent' Voice SMS service for its fixed and mobile subscribers. The Convergent Voice SMS Service is based upon the patented 'Voice SMS' technology from Kirusa, a mobile value added services provider based in New Jersey, USA. MTNL fixed line and mobile subscribers in Delhi can now send personalised Voice SMS messages to friends, family and colleagues across MTNL's mobile and fixed networks within Delhi. This service would also be available to MTNL subscribers in Mumbai shortly.

K. C. Gupta, executive director, operations, MTNL, commented, "The scale of customisation of Kirusa's Voice SMS to our desired configuration showcases the flexibility, scalability and robustness of the Kirusa Voice SMS solution. We are confident that the Convergent Voice SMS will be heartily adopted by the MTNL subscribers, and we plan to market this unique service to our customers aggressively."
Voice SMS application allows an MTNL fixed or mobile subscriber to send a voice message without having the phone ring (RingFree Messaging SM). The recipient is not disturbed and can pick up the message at his leisure. To send a Voice SMS message, a user simply dials '1*' followed by the recipient's phone number, and speaks a short message, in the language of his choice. If the recipient is a mobile user, the recipient gets an SMS message and can dial 1*0* to retrieve new Voice SMS messages, and 1*1* to retrieve old Voice SMS messages.
If the recipient is a fixed line user, he receives a call, and the message is spoken to him. The fixed line user can also retrieve Voice SMS messages at any time by dialing 1*0* to retrieve new Voice SMS messages, or dialing 1*1* to retrieve old Voice SMS messages from his fixed line phone. The recipient can also reply, forward, save or delete the Voice SMS message.
To support the launch, Kirusa has deployed and integrated the Kirusa Voice SMS platform into MTNL's fixed line and mobile networks. MTNL fixed line and mobile subscribers will pay Rupee 1 per minute to send, forward or reply to a Voice SMS message. The receiver will be able to listen to a message free of charge for the first time and will pay Rupee 1 per minute for listening to the message again.
