Text to Landline Messages on Sprint Have the Glitz & Glam of Hollywood Voices
ACTON, MA, Apr 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
TeleMessage, helping generations communicate, today announced new Text to
Landline abilities available on Sprint, allowing subscribers to convey
more personality in their text messages between mobile and landline
phones. The service will also allow Sprint text messages originating in
the United States to be delivered to landline destinations in Mexico with
no additional cost.
"With TeleMessage's service, we are offering our customers limitless ways
and means to reach friends and family who do not have mobile phones. We
are moving beyond the basic mobile-to-mobile text message with fun new
features that enhance messaging as well as international capabilities,"
said Jeff Adelmann, Director of Product Management, of Sprint. "Sprint
continues to recognize that our customers are always looking for new
tools in communication, thus, providing cost-effective Text to Landline
services, extends our mission to provide freedom of mobility to all our
users."
Celebrity voices, enacted by top voice impersonators, not only deliver
personalized messages, but are equipped with their own celebrated
catchphrases.
Voices include:
-- Arnold Schwarzenegger
-- Barack Obama
-- Bill Cosby
-- Joan Rivers
-- Dr. Ruth
-- Rosie Perez
Have fun. Let the Prez take responsibility for your messages or have
'Good Text' with the Dr. Ruth. There are so many possibilities. Can we
talk? To select the celebrity voice for their messages users call to a
special IVR number from their Sprint phone. Text to Landline messages
will use the selected celebrity voice until the user decides to change it.
Disclaimer: Celebrity voices are enacted by top voice impersonators. There
is no affiliation, connection, association, sponsorship, approval, or
agreement between the impersonator, this service, the companies and the
celebrity.
"Our expanded Text to Landline features, used by Sprint, unites the gap
between generations that do not communicate through the same mediums.
Always-mobile teenagers now have the potential to send a quick text
message to their parents and grandparents tied to landlines," said
TeleMessage CEO Guy Levit. "TeleMessage is creating new Text to Landline
features, bridging communications both geographically and between wired
and mobile devices."
Sprint's mobile phone Text to Landline users will not be limited by
location. Friends and family texting to Mexico can address messages to
homes with landlines, opening the lines of communications between mobile
and non-mobile users. Mexico Text to Landline is just as easy as sending
an SMS and will not have any additional fees.
