SaskTel Offers SpinVox Apps

ATLANTA — SaskTel today

announced that it is the first provider in Canada to offer Voice Mail to

Text service powered by SpinVox. Available on both the SaskTel cellular

network and SaskTel’s wireline telephone network, Voice Mail to Text

service automatically converts voicemail messages to text and sends the

text message to the recipient for viewing on a computer, a cellular

phone or another wireless device. The service is available for $25 per

month for unlimited messages, $10 per month for up to 40 messages or 40

cents per message on a pay per use basis.

SaskTel also announced the introduction of online access to SaskTel’s

Voice Mail Service for residential and small business customers as well

as wireless customers. Online Voice Mail, which has been available to

large business customers for several months, gives all of SaskTel’s

voice mail customers the ability to listen to and delete messages,

forward messages to email, download and save messages, and change their

voicemail settings, all on an easy-to-use web site that can be accessed

via www.sasktel.com. Voice mailboxes are secure, and customers are

required to enter their phone number and voice mail password to access

their mailbox online. These online enhancements, plus an increase in

mailbox storage capacity, are available at no extra charge.

“Voice Mail to Text is a revolutionary service and we’re proud to be the

first provider in Canada to offer it to our customers,” SaskTel

President and CEO Robert Watson said. “These new technologies provide

customers with incredible new flexibility and convenience when dealing

with their voicemail.”

“Voice driven messaging is about to explode around the globe,” said

Christina Domecq, Co-founder and CEO of SpinVox. “SpinVox was the first

to create the service and SaskTel is the first in Canada to offer it.

We believe voice messaging greatly enhances your ability to communicate

effectively with the people you interact with on a daily basis – and

that’s why we’re both in business.”
