- Product Description
- Message Sling is a voice messaging service that fits your life. It delivers your voicemails as text messages, email messages or MP3 files. Message Sling isn’t tied to any one carrier, so you can swap out your phone, jump to another carrier and even lose your phone without losing your messages. Message Sling transcribes your voicemails, plays custom greetings, and offers unlimited storage and organization for messages, contacts and greetings.
- Market Opportunity
- Jupiter research estimates there are 220 million cellular subscribers in the United States, our base price of $9.95 a month the total theoretically addressable market size is $2 billion. Our real market is considerably smaller than that, as our free service will cannibalize a large portion of that.
- DEMO Says
- I’m a fan of SpinVox’s voicemail to text message service. But the U.K. company’s decision to deliver the service through mobile operators has meant its world-wide rollout is moving extremely slowly. And their window maybe closing. Message Sling circumvents carriers to deliver voice to text transcription across multiple channels — voicemail to text message, email or Web, for example. It’s early days for the company and service, but the vision for additional cross-mode voice-to-text and text-to-voice services is anything but small. After a year with SpinVox, I’ve made the switch to Message Sling, and expect to be here a very long time.
