Many operators are offering voice SMS services these days. The advantage, being the fact that you do not need to press any keys to compose the message, instead you can speak your message into your cell phone and press send.
The recipient will receive a message saying that he has a voice SMS, click to hear it or press *0* to listen to the message. The user upon doing this can hear the message.
If you have used MMS, you will know that there is nothing new in this service. By using MMS you can record a sound file, attach it to your message and send. You can even attach pictures and videos.
But MMS is not supported by all carriers and you need multimedia handsets to use MMS. The adoption of MMS is still very low.
Voice SMS is built upon the existing voice and SMS infrastructure. Every mobile operator can support the service and any ordinary handset will work.
But soon MMS will catch. In 3 years time all the handsets in the market will be MMs enabled. The Voice SMS service may become obselete then.
GVoice is an absolute lifesaver. I can’t believe the functionality that it offers, take for example the ability to listen in on voicemail messages. If anyone wants an invite let me know. Also I hope that Apple rethinks the Google Voice app, hwo could such an killer app get killed by Apple?
