On confirmation, the message will be sent to the receiver. The recipient will receive the SMS from the sender's number giving him the details. The recipient has to dial a toll-free number 535 to retrieve his talking SMS. The Aircel communication said the newly introduced service would be available as a free trial offer till April 30.
