Lloyd Mathias, chief marketing officer, TTSL, said, “At last count, Twitter was attracting 190 million visitors per month and generating 65 million tweets a day. The introduction of Call-n-Tweet service would give our subscribers a very convenient and personal way to tweet without logging on the internet.”
The service is compatible with all mobile handsets available. Subscribers need to dial a number and send a voice tweet to update their status. Users can speak in any language. A voice tweet surpasses the limitation of 140 characters.
The user is charged 0.80 paise for sending a voice tweet from his mobile.
