Tectonics Voice Messenger Solution addresses the limitations of conventional SMS messages such as character limitation, lack of support for local languages, etc, and provides mobile users with a greater freedom of expression (emotions, language and message duration). Tectonics Voice SMS allows users to send voice messages in the form of audio files that are sent to the recipients. The conventional "Store and Forward" mechanism is used for sending these messages.

HOW OPERATORS CAN BENEFIT FROM VOICE SMS

• Flexibility in pricing as compared to SMS or airtime usage since Voice SMS can
   be positioned as a premium service
• Customers can be offered better value, especially for long-distance
   communication, thereby reducing customer churn
• Service can be extended to conventional landlines to increase the coverage
• Better utilization of network and ability to avoid congesting using Store &
   Forward technologies
• Real-time end-to-end circuit connection between the two parties not required,
   thereby reducing infrastructure costs
• With support for multiple languages, the usage of Voice SMS can be easily
   increased, leading to higher revenues
