Ufone, one of the leading mobile carriers in
Pakistan, has launched the 'Awaz SMS' service based upon the pioneering Voice SMS technology from Kirusa. Ufone subscribers across
Pakistan can now send personalized 'Awaz SMS' messages to friends, family and colleagues across mobile networks in
Pakistan. The Awaz SMS service is available nationwide to all Ufones's prepaid and postpaid subscribers. To deliver the Voice SMS solution to Ufone, Kirusa has deployed Voice SMS application and multimodal platform, integrated with HP open call media platform in the Ufone network in
Islamabad. Kirusa's Voice SMS technology allows its clients to offer the ultimate seamless Voice SMS experience to their mobile subscribers. The service provides a user the facility to send SMS messages without having to go through the pain of typing a message on mobile phone keypads; instead a user is simply required to dial "99" followed by the recipient's phone number, and records a short message of 30 seconds, in the language of his/her choice. A Ufone subscriber will get a network call that will take him to his Voice SMS. If the recipient is on another network he/she will get an SMS message from the sender, and can directly dial a predefined number in the message to access the recorded message. After listening to the message, Ufone subscribers can reply to an 'Awaz SMS' by voice, or by text, and can also forward the message if they like. He/she can also dial *0* to retrieve new messages, and *1* to retrieve old messages. The user also has the option to schedule the Awaz SMS for sending the message at a later predefined time. A subscriber on another network also has an option to reply to an Awaz SMS sent by a Ufone subscriber. A number of other enhanced features are also available.
