Abstract: A method of transmitting a multimedia file over a network includes receiving, from a user, a user contact and a recipient address which can be received though at least one of a SMS message, an e-mail message, an Internet form or an HTTP protocol message. The user inputs the information and transmits it to the system. Once the information is received, the system contacts the user at the user contact and the user is prompted to record a message. The message is recorded as a multimedia file and, once recorded, the system transmits the multimedia file to the recipient address. The system can send an e-mail to the recipient address attaching the multimedia file, provide a link to download or stream the multimedia file, provide a callback telephone number to play the multimedia file over a telephone, and send the multimedia file to a cellular telephone as a message.
