MTN brings another first to the South African mobile telecommunications market with the introduction of i-Mail (MTN Integrated Mail), of a new fully integrated and flexible web based mailbox management service.

In future Enhanced Voicemail customers will also be able to record multiple greetings for different times of the day depending on if they are in meetings in the morning, at functions in the evening or taking a siesta.

You can personalize your Voicemail as well as “the option to receive your messages via MMS” which allows you to save time to by not having to call 100/111 all the time.
