.... for a fixed price of 75 paise per minute.

To send a message, a Vodafone subscriber has to dial * and the mobile number of the person to whom he wishes to send the message to, and speak for 30 seconds and disconnect


if cost is per minute then why disconnect after 30 seconds?!

Either Vodafone or the Tech 2 journo is trying to be clever

i dont get what 'saving' a message exactly means. it says you can have 20 voice sms in your inbox. so whats the use of saving? rather what exactly do they mean by saving here?

 

[amish]

lets say u have 20 msgs in Inbox, and u receive 21st msg then ur 1st (oldest) msg gets deleted. now what if ur oldest msg is important to you? in that case u can save that old msg.imagine this way, INBOX capable of 20 msgs and SAVED ITEMS capable of 5msgs.SAVED ITEMS are never deletedINBOX keeps deleting older msgs as new msgs arrive.

'Saving' could mean downloading on your cell phone where as 'Inbox' is on their server where the FIFO principle works.

No this saving does not refer to saving on phone. Its saved on their servers. Thats why limit of 5 msgs.
