This is call messaging enabling users to exchange voice messages. It allows the user to record and send a voice message as easily as making a normal call.
The voice call allows for an enriched message to be sent incorporating aspects of emotion and tone that is largely absent when communicating via SMS. It allows callers to move away from traditional typed SMS and instead they can record their own message and send it to someone by SMS, whether on MTN or other local network.
In effect you are sending an instant personalized voice message, without the need for the recipient to have an active voicemail box.
With MTN VoiceSMS record a 30 second message and send for as low as UGX 50
