Kampala — A COMMUNICATION platform that uses SMS and voice broadcast to channel information to mobile phones has been launched by Solutions for Business, writes Vision Reporter.
Dubbed Be Mobile, the innovative solution is a partnership between Solutions for Business, Beyonic and UK-based company, Super3.
Robert Katuntu, the managing director of Be Mobile, said services to be provided include voice broadcasts and interactive voice responses, call centre solutions and bulk SMS.
"We have a constant need to send and receive information," he told a press briefing.
Katuntu said the company had concluded agreements with MTN and uganda telecom and the cost of the service would range from as low as sh80 to sh10,000.
With over five million mobile phone subscribers, Katuntu is optimistic the technology will make the phone a popular gateway to information and services.
