ON Voicefeed App Gets Users Up Close And Personal

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Orange Vallée, the Orange Group’s innovation and development centre, today announced that its recently launched ON Voicefeed iPhone app just got even better.

ON Voicefeed is bringing voicemail into the modern era with its latest updates that radically enhances its feature set to make ON Voicefeed a global communication platform. As well as a host of new features, it now delivers free instant messaging (IM) between ON users and callback functionality from within the app.

These new features add to the app’s current advanced visual voicemail offering, which includes customisable greetings for each contact and a text-to-speech function. This allows users to create greetings by typing the words and choosing the voice they want to hear. A free version of ON Voicefeed with a limit of three personal greetings and one generic is available to download from the App Store. For unlimited personal greetings, users can now buy in-app the premium option of the app for $ 9.99 per year.

So now when you are away from your mobile, you can make sure that your friends, family, partner or even your boss each receive a voicemail message that is relevant and personal to them. You can also keep in touch with your contacts on the go with the Instant Messaging feature. With tens of thousands of downloads already, ON Voicefeed is bringing a little mobile magic into peoples’ lives.

With ON Voicefeed we are encouraging people to be creative with the personalised messages they have for their contacts with many users reporting that the service has that magic feeling when a caller hears a very personal message for them. As we go forward with this new version, we’ll continue to add new and exciting features to our service. Look out for integration of full VoIP and more.”
