With VMS Direct you send your message through video or voice, at no cost for the recipient. VMS Direct is revolutionary in its simplicity as the receiver only has to press a single button on their mobile phones to get started.

When SMS is sent the service responds to call the recipient in the first place with VMS, and if this doesn’t work, with a voice call. All recipients can always reach the message afterwards by connecting to the VMS service or via www.vmsplay.com.
When a VMS is received, the all the standard functions such as reply or forward message can be used. VMS Direct can also be interactive allowing subscriptions to newsletters, respond to questions or be linked to orders and purchases.
