Sprint?s Newest Feature Offering Hopes To Improve Two Way Communication Amongst Their Nextel Direct Customers
SPRINT’S NEWEST FEATURE OFFERING HOPES TO IMPROVE TWO WAY COMMUNICATION AMONGST THEIR NEXTEL DIRECT CUSTOMERS
February 19th, 2008
Sprint/Nextel unveiled a slew of new features for their push-to-talk clientele today. The included features are nothing new to us regular number dialing folks, but for those on the walkie-talkie like format it may be a welcome add.
Complete details after the ‘leap’
Push-to-Email
With NextMail, customers can use the Nextel Direct Connect button to push-to-send voice messages to any email address. The NextMail service allows customers to select a recipient from their address book, push the Direct Connect button, speak to record the message and release the button to send the message to their recipient’s email address. The recipient receives an email in their Inbox with a link they can click to listen to the message and respond back to the sender via text. NextMail is available for $7.50 per month.
Push-to-Picture
Customers can also use their Direct Connect button to send a picture to compatible phones, with Direct Send. Customers can send the picture while on a Direct Connect call, and the picture appears on both the sender’s and recipient’s phones simultaneously, so they can view and discuss in real time. Direct Send is the industry’s only push-to-picture service that allows pictures to be sent while on a call, enabling a real estate agent to share a photo of a new listing with a client for immediate discussion or a construction worker to instantly send a picture to management to discuss the latest progress on the job site. Direct Send Picture is available on compatible phones for $0.25 per picture.
Push-to-Send Contact Information
Direct Send also allows customers to instantly send contact information at the push of a button. Customers can send their own contact information or the contact information of anyone in their address book – including email address, fax number, pager number and more – simply by selecting the desired contact from their address book and pushing the Direct Connect button. Sending contact information is available on compatible phones at no additional charge to Nextel Direct Connect subscribers.
Future Push-to-X
In addition to the current push-to-x features available on Nextel Direct Connect, new capabilities are expected as a result of the launch later this year of a new line of Nextel Direct Connect-capable phones with Sprint Mobile Broadband data capabilities. This expansion of Nextel Direct Connect is expected to ultimately deliver robust capabilities including new ‘push-to-x’ features, which could include push-to-text, push-to-locate, push-to-information and other enhanced features in the future, all designed to further extend the concept of one-touch communications.
