Jordan’s provider of telecommunication services, Umniah, recently announced the launch of its International Voice Short Message service (SMS) to the Palestinian subscribers of Jawal GSM Operator.

Umniah will grant its subscribers the opportunity to send voice SMS messages to relatives and friends living in Palestine.

"Through this innovative service, Umniah subscribers have the opportunity to record a 30-second voice SMS and send it to their relatives and friends in Palestine who are subscribers of Jawal GSM Operator," Umniah’s VAS and roaming manager, Mohammad Serieh, told www.tradearabia.com on Saturday.

This SMS will be sent as a multimedia message (MMS) to the Jawal subscriber who in turn will be able to listen to the voice message.

The senders need to dial (*) before the number requested. And they may start recording their message after the tone. The price of each voice SMS is 10 piasters only with no additional subscription fees required.

The new service targets sectors of the community who would otherwise find it challenging to send regular SMS messages.

“Being the first in the region to launch the Voice SMS solution, we are proud to be presenting our subscribers this innovative new mean of communication with their relatives and friends in Palestine," Serieh said.
