SaskTel bring SpinVox to Canada

Voice to text provider SpinVox have signed a deal with mobile and landline operator SaskTel to bring their voicemail to SMS service to Canada.

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.

‘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.”
