Honest 836 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 TATA Docomo Intros ‘Name Tunes’ – Greet Your Caller With Your Name ! Adding a new feather to the Call Me Tunes service and Doing the New each time, TATA Docomo, today announced the first of its kind service in the telecom VAS space called Name Tunes. Name Tunes is a first of its kind service in the country powered by VAS content developer mCarbon that allows subscriber to greet callers with his/her Name & personalized message of their choice from a set your template messages, instead of listening to a traditional Tring-Tring or musical caller tune. To activate this service, it’s quick and simple, TATA DOCOMO subscribers have to simply SMS “First NAME” and send it to 52100(Toll Free). For example if the name is “Deepika” then Type “Deepika” and send it to 52100. Subscription charges are Rs. 30 per month and Name Tune download will be charged for Rs. 15 for 90 days. Speaking on launching this innovative service in the Call Me Tunes segment, Mr. Rishi Mohan Malhotra, Head VAS-TATA DOCOMO said, “Name Tunes is in line with our way of doing things “Refreshingly Different”, that adds an element of fun and newness to the already existing set of VAS offerings. Greeting a caller with his or her name while the phone rings, will make the call and the conversation even more pleasant and special. This would be a refreshing change for subscribers not wanting to set songs as call me tunes & will cater to a new untapped market of personalized call me tunes.We are pleased to associate with mCarbon that has given us the edge to be the industry first and launch a unique offering in the VAS space that will certainly redefine the experience of Call Me Tunes and make it even more personalized, Mr. Malhotra added.

digitalnirvana 646 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 Good one. By the way why is voicemail not so popular here, is it because of high charge or our culture of giving missed calls? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 Very good question... But for me MCA (Missed Call Alerts) is enough... I also get the number of times the person called and the last time he tried... I will call him then... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kesav 127 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 I like this service. Ideally it should have been provided quite long back. Anyway, better late than never. Kudos to TATA. :clap: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
::: VA ::: 531 Report post Posted February 1, 2012 didnt see another thread Reliance too offers similar service. You just have to send sms to 53030 - PTUNE "Your name" Normally it will sound like "Thank you for calling Mr.******* Please Hold" But a reliance insider told me there are only 3000 approx names which have been pre decided as per the most common names and only these are available to choose. Worth a try , your no. gets more personalized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
