March 10th, 2008Telus adds Spinvox too

Spinvox is a neat little app that converts your voice messages to text and delivers them to your handset by email or SMS. This is handy for making your voicemails searchable and archivable or for those people get a lot of voicemail. You probably know who you are. We reported earlier on Rogers adding Spinvox so it seems only fair to mention that Telus users can now have Spinvox too. No word yet on comparable pricing of the Telus offer (Rogers was $15/month). Drop a line in the comments if you know.

Also no word yet on a service that works the other way. e.g. a system somewhere you could text every once in a while and it would call up by computerized voice your mum or whomever and tell her you are doing just fine these days thanks, and how are you?

Startup idea in the making?

It already does work the other way! Maybe it’s just a Telus thing, but if I send a text message from my Telus cell phone to a Telus landline, the landline rings and tells you that you’ve been sent a text message. If you press 1, a computerized voice reads the message to you. It also sends me the following text in response:

“Message was successfully delivered to an answering system at phone system 780-555-5555. Thanks for using Text to Landline from TELUS.”

I Confirm it works with Hell I MEAN BELL mobility too. Driving every non-cell user friend crazy (insert evil laugh here).

Only thing I’ve found is that it takes about 30 minutes…so you lose the immediacy of text messaging.
