Works with wireless devices that have small displays. Imposes a limited set of options that are available to the user.
Uses an interface that is "natural" to individuals who can speak. Can require the individual to "drill-down" through multiple pages of options.
Readily accessible to anyone with a phone. May have limited ability to work effectively with individuals who do not speak the "native" language of the XML system.
