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.”
