• CHAT & GROUP CHAT: Send multimedia messages such as pictures and videos to your chat group and see when your contact is typing a our ‘touch typing indicator’. We also provide you with a comprehensive message management feature so that the next time you ‘send’ a message to someone you’ll get a notification by way of a tick, which turns into two ticks when the message is ‘delivered’ and then into a different colour when the message is ‘read’. You can also send a message directly to an email address.

While conference calling, why not place your call on ‘Speaker’ phone with our speaker option.
