Voice SMS Company Bubble Motion Gets $10 Million Funding

Bubble Motion, probably among the first voice SMS providers, has secured $10 million in second round from Sequoia Capital US and India combined. The mobile messaging technology company, headquartered in Singapore, will use the funds to enhance research and development of BubbleTalk, its flagship product.
From its website: Bubblealk is a “Click, Talk and Send” asynchronous Short Voice Messaging Service (SVMS) that works across operators and networks. This is a talk and listen messaging alternative to the ‘type and read’ text messaging service provided by SMS.”
Rafat adds: Think of it as a cross carrier PTT. Of course, mobile voice IM (are there any implementation examples of this?) could also do the same thing.
Gaurav Garg, partner at Sequoia US, will join the board of the company. [From sister site ContentSutra.com]
