India’s largest telco Airtel has teamed up with voice SMS pioneer Bubble Motion to deploy voice SMS to fixed line and mobile customers.

To use the service, the customer dials * followed by the mobile number of the customer they wish to send the Voice SMS to.  The recipient then receives an SMS alert on his mobile phone, notifying them that they have a new Bubble message.  The recipient then retrieves the Voice SMS by dialing *0* from their mobile. 

Sunil Coushik, President and Co-Founder of Bubble Motion said: “Airtel has become the number one service provider in India on the back of service innovations, which have successfully captured the imagination of India’s wired and wireless customers.  By deploying the best Voice SMS solution on the market, Airtel is staying one step ahead of its competition.”
