ARGENTINA’S
FONOPOST
During the past five
years 120,000 persons have
made sound recordings of
their voice for transmission
to friends through this uni
que postal service.
In “Fonopost” the meth
od is simple. The custom
er goes to a postoffice hav
ing facilities and, after
paying the fee, makes the
recording in a comfortable,
specially designed booth.
The postal sendee takes
over from there, and sees
that the message is safely
delivered.
The user may prefer to
make the record in the pri
vacy of his home, thus a
phone call to the postal
sendee, brings the appara
tus to his home for an ad
ditional fee of about 60c.
A motorized unit, offering
other postal services as
i
well, leaves for rural areas
at regular intervals, fol
lowing specified routes.
It seems that charges for1
the service are extremely'
moderate, in that single
faced recordings may be
sent to any part of Argen-i
tina for twenty cents, in

eluding postage, and
abroad for about twenty
two cents. Double-faced
recordings with postage in
cluded, cost the sender
about twenty-three cents
for domestic mailing and
about twenty-five cents for
mailing outside of the coun
, try
These “Fonopost” mes
sages may be sent either
by regular or air mail, and
may be sent registered or
special delivery, and the
sender may specify the
delivery date.
The popularity of the
service in Argentina has
prompted other South
American countries to
have recently announced
that the service would be
; available.
