It is easier to speak than to type!  More powerful and convenient than typing is what Voice SMS is all about!

With its Voice SMS, Kirusa is empowering human voice by changing the way people communicate with their peers.  Kirusa invented Voice SMS, and is the world’s leading provider of Voice SMS.  Kirusa Voice SMS has been selected by more than 30 leading mobile carriers in four continents, and is used by more than 50 million unique users every month.

The simplicity of Voice SMS has changed the way people communicate with each other. It is so easy to send a Voice SMS. Just dial *(star) followed by the recipient’s number on the mobile keypad and speak the message in your own voice.  The message is recorded and delivered to the recipient.

It is less time consuming then typing a message, and suits teenagers, young adults, upwardly mobile individuals, as well as the rural population. Unlike text messages, which needs dedicated attention; Voice SMS can easily be sent while on the move. Kirusa Voice SMS also provides a cost-effective way to send messages to people living in another country.

The recipient of a Kirusa Voice SMS gets an SMS notification from the sender with instructions on how to listen to the voice message. Users can listen to new messages for free by dialling *0*. Users can listen to messages again for a small fee by dialling *1*. The recipient can also call the Direct Listen™ numbers included in the notification to listen directly to the message from the Sender without having to listen to a long IVR, using Kirusa’s patented DirectListen™ technology. While listening to a message, users can reply by pressing a key and recording a voice SMS in their voice. Users can also forward the message to another number, or save it.

Kirusa Voice SMS works on all types of handsets across all networks. With a simple and intuitive interface, familiarity with it does not take much time. Users can send Voice SMS to any mobile or fixed phone number in the country including recipients belonging to another carrier. Fixed line users receive an out call from the system to listen to the message.

One of the notable feature of Kirusa Voice SMS is Speed Codes™. It enables a user to associate phone number with an easy to remember mnemonic Speed Code such as *MOM (*666) or *DAD (*424). User can dial the mnemonic short code to send a Voice SMS to the recipient. Users can also send a Voice SMS to a group of people using a Speed Code.

Users can also access their Voice SMS messages over the web. The web interface helps subscribers to effortlessly customize their Voice SMS service experience. For example, a customer can choose his preferred language or Voice SMS receipt method at the click of a button, and set up Groups and Speed Codes by importing address book.
