Q: What is so special about PhoneGreetings?
A: A PhoneGreeting is a very Innovative and personal message.
Nowadays almost everyone owns a mobile phone and carries it with him/her.
Sending a conventional card or an e-card does not ensure you the recipient will actually read it.
For example: A person may not check his e-mail on his/her birthday. However he or she will always answer their phone. When the number is busy the PhoneGreeting will be delivered to the recipients voicemail.
With a PhoneGreeting success is guaranteed. A mobile phone is usually always within reach of the owner. This also extends the possibilities for date and time of delivery.
