Fully automated text voicemail transcriptions available to all Phone.com Customers

Livingston, NJ (PRWEB) November 8, 2010. Phone.com, an innovative and affordable home and business phone service, announced today that fully automated voicemail message transcriptions are now available. In addition to listening to their voicemails, every Phone.com customer can now also view the transcribed text of their voicemail messages on their phone and in their email inboxes.
Messages are transcribed immediately upon receipt and are forwarded to the customer’s email as well as to their phones as an SMS text message. Unlike other services that provide human-assisted transcriptions, Phone.com’s transcriptions are 100% automated. Based on software developed by Yap, Inc., the company’s automated Text Voicemail provides the highest level of speech recognition technology, enabling faster and more accurate transcriptions.

“Our customers tell us all the time how tedious it is to listen to long and detailed voicemail messages,” said Phone.com CEO Ari Rabban. “Our new transcription service makes it easy to check your voicemail – even in business meetings or loud settings where listening to messages is not practical. In fact, our new service is so quick and accurate you might never listen to a voicemail again.”

The Phone.com automated Text Voicemail service is available immediately to all Phone.com customers at a cost of $1.50 per month for unlimited transcriptions.

VoIP phone company CEO, Ari Rabban, to speak at “The Explosive and Disruptive Growth of SMS” session

Livingstone, NJ (PRWEB) September 8, 2010 Phone.com, a VoIP phone company offering innovative and affordable home phone and business phone service, today announced its participation at the COMPTEL PLUS Fall 2010 Convention & EXPO taking place September 12-15 at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Dallas. COMPTEL is the leading trade association for the competitive telecommunications industry.

Phone.com’s CEO Ari Rabban will be speaking at the conference session titled “The Explosive and Disruptive Growth of SMS”. This session will be taking place on Tuesday, September 14 10:00-10:45AM and will be discussing the following:

Today SMS messaging is exploding in the United States. The number of SMS users has grown 300 percent – from 30 million to 100 million – since 2001, and the number of messages has grown from 33 million to 48 billion in the same period. Moreover, SMS is increasingly built into applications, from social networking to information services. This explosion is having a disruptive effect across industry segments. In this session, speakers will address how carriers frequently block “short codes” as a means of discriminating against specific providers or specific content/applications, the impact of unsolicited SMS messages on consumers, and how SMS is creating huge additional demand for backhaul for cellular carriers and resellers.

“COMPTEL has always been the leading event for the competitive telecom industry, and we look forward to taking part in this great conference and sharing our thoughts about the SMS market. Indeed this is an exploding market, and although some might feel it reached its peak, the truth is that it’s far from it,” stated Ari Rabban, CEO at Phone.com.
