14 DAY TRIAL // For those who are not familiar with the name of Alltel, even if you should, the company is America's largest network, with a coverage that goes for the whole nation. Their goal is to provide the most reliable network and "it's a nationwide network that somebody can count on", as they say.
During the years, Alltel has offered its costumers from the newest mobile phones, to data services and software solutions. The latest innovation that Alltel brings to the world is the Spinvox's Voicemail-To-Text technology. Besides being the first of the five major carriers in the United States to offer this service, the Voice2TXT uses Spinvox in order to convert a voice mail to a text message.
At this point, many may wonder what this Spinvox is. Well, it's quite simple. SpinVox is another service that can be used from any phone. Once you access Spinvox, you are able to record whatever message you want and the service will convert your words to a simple SMS. The choice will be yours to decide where you will send this message, to another mobile phone, in a friend's e-mail inbox or even on somebody's blog.
It sure is an innovative idea, because this will make the life of the user way much easier in many ways. Imagine that you want to send this kind of messages. You won't be "forced" to dial and navigate through different menus in order to send a voice message.
Now, if you think that your handset is not capable of this kind of stuff, relax, because it seems that Voice2TXT can match with any SMS-capable cell phone. The service that Alltel provides sounds like this: the base pack will cost you 4.99 dollars/month and will include 20 voice mails. If you want to upgrade to 50 conversations, that will cost you 9.99 dollars/month. And if you can't get enough of this, 100 conversations will cost you 19.99 dollars/month.
