Aircel has partnered social networking website Facebook to introduce Facebook voice updates on Aircel that allow people to connect to their family and friends on the social networking website.

To broadcast a message, you have to dial a short code to record your voice message, and post it as your status update on Facebook. Your friends will then receive an SMS alert about your new status update, to which they can reply with their own voice updates on Aircel.

The voice updates can be posted even without access to mobile internet, which makes it an easy access for a large audience.

''Convergence is the way forward as it opens a world of possibilities. Facebook voice updates on Aircel is a step in that direction which helps both the business community and the youth to connect efficiently, be it a celebration or an emergency,'' said Gurdeep Singh, COO, Aircel.

Henri Moissinac, head of mobile business at Facebook, said, ''Today, over 15 million people are actively using Facebook in India, where mobile devices are an important tool for Indians to stay connected to the people and things most important to them. This collaboration with Aircel will offer an opportunity for our Indian users to easily connect and share with their friends on Facebook anytime, anywhere.''
