Notice Board Service

Notice Board Service is a Value Added Telecom Service based on intelligent network platform. It is a supplementary service of PSTN VMS (Voice Mailbox Service) in which the mailbox can be used as a Notice Board by the subscriber. The subscriber can record their notice board material or information in their telephone (subscribed for Notice Board Service facility) so that when a person calls that telephone number, the recorded notices or information is played. The recorded notices/information can be edited or deleted as required by the subscriber.

Notice Board solution adds value to the existing telephone service providing efficient customer friendly interface with customers, strengthening customer loyalty. Answered phones help keep customers informed. One of the key advantages of Notice Board Service is that it can free companies from deployment of huge human resources for intensive tasks, particularly repetitive monotonous functions. It can take the pressure off from the working staffs by narrowing away the chunk work and still provide callers with options that let them reach the appropriate people to address for more issues.
