[empott]

I have just done a search and seen a im software called yehba which is free, but we have just started to look at how much Gprs-3g costs in phill as the
websites don't seem to tell us much.

With Smart 3G, its PhP10 per 30 mins.

What is Voice Email?

This revolutionary service gives you the capability to send a VoiceTxt message from your mobile phone to any email address in the world. It’s like talking to your family and friends!
But wait! There’s more! Voice Email also allows you to receive email messages in the form of text from people that you’ve sent VoiceTxt messages to! All they need to do is reply to your VoiceTxt message like any other email message.

Will I be charged for this service?

To keep the service going, of course we need to charge you a little something-something. But don’t worry, it’s just P2.50 for every successfully sent VoiceTxt message. That’s a price that’s hard to beat!

How do I send a Voice Email?

1. Register - Before you can send a VoiceTxt to any email address, you have to register your recipient’s email address first. Send ADD <contacts email address> to 8990. You can register up to 10 different email addresses
2. Get assigned voicetxt number - After registering your friend’s email address, you will receive a unique VoiceTxt number to call. You will use that number to send a VoiceTxt to your friend’s email.
3. Send - Call the assigned VoiceTxt number. Follow the instructions of the voice prompt, then record your message. Your friend will receive your heart-felt message after you end the call.

How can they listen to my Voicetxt message?

Your recipient will get an email from <your number>@voicetxt.net. Inside that email is a link. Once they make clicky on the linky, your VoiceTxt message will play.

Can they reply to my message?

Yes. All they need to do is hit the reply button, where they will send an email to <your number>@voicetxt.net.
Once they’ve sent the message, you will get a message that says, “You have a msg frm <email address>. Txt YES to 8990 if u want to read it. Txt NO if u want to block.”
If you want to read the message, just reply YES, and you will then get their message via text. After that, all other emails from that recipient will be sent directly to your phone. You will be charged P2.50 for each message you receive, so tell your friend to keep their message short! If the email message exceeds the equivalent 3-part SMS message, the exceeding characters will be cut and not sent.
On the other hand, if you do not want to read the message, just text NO to 8990. Once you do this, though, you will no longer receive any message from that recipient.
Reply messages are charged P2.50

What other commands can I use for this service?

LIST – by sending this to 8990, you can access the list of email addresses that you have registered, along with their specially-assigned VoiceTxt numbers.
REG <username> - you can use this to get your own username and email address at mailko.com. This email service is free.
HELP – you can send this keyword to 8990 if you’re having trouble using Voice Email.
All transactions will be charged P2.50.
