The text messages are converted\nto English or French voice messages and either played to the wireline phone\nowners or left on their voicemail or answering machine. The TELUS mobile\nsubscriber receives a status text message telling him if a live person received\nthe message or if it was left on a voicemail or answering machine. Wireline\nrecipients can then respond using their own voice. The TELUS mobile subscriber\nwill receive a text message notification with details on how to retrieve the\nresponse, and can then dial in and listen to the voice message.\n\n\nMark Carlin, Vice President of Sales for the Americas at TeleMessage said, 'The\napplication is very simple to use. The TELUS customer simply sends a text\nmessage to a landline number instead of a mobile number. I am often asked, why\ndon't they just call instead? The short answer is because they do not want to.\nThe people that text message and use Instant Messenger today like that method of\ncommunication and having some extra time to think before they have to respond.\nThis application bridges the gap between the young and the older, the mobile\ntext user and the landline voice user. We have seen tremendous growth in use of\nthe solution over the past two years. I have no doubt TELUS will experience the\nsame.'\n\n\nTELUS subscribers pay standard text message rates for Text to Landline messages.\nFor more information on Text to Landline from TELUS, visit telusmobility.com/bc/\nwweb/home_phone_text_services.shtml.\n\n\n - ENDS -\n\n\nMessaging International Plc: Messaging International Plc joined AIM in August\n2005 with the objective of becoming a leading provider in the rapidly growing\nmultimedia messaging market.
