In the exciting world of VAS, we are
still somewhat distant from communicating directly
to the masses in the language they understand.
Imagine a carpenter in Bihar, who has never spoken a
word of English – receive an SMS saying his payment
for the month is due today! Do you really think he
will get it? Do you really believe you have
communicated his bill reminder? Yet, this is
precisely what all our mobile operators do today!
Send SMS alerts, major announcements, festival
wishes and all SMS messaging in English language. A
pity indeed that a large part of these operator
generated messages are completely missing the mark..
Question therefore is:- How to reach
the masses in the language
they understand? How to touch their hearts with
personalized messaging that can deliver the goods?
How can we get them to take action?
This is precisely the reason,
ETERNO Infotech decided to develop
IndiServer, India’s first and only
‘Indian Language Bulk SMS Server’!
IndiServer, is a server that allows the operator to
generate and push out Indian language SMS – with or
without pictures / images – to masses, in the
language of choice. In this mode, every mobile
subscriber will receive alerts, wishes and any form
of SMS with regional language fonts, type and
characters.
