YouMail voicemail service

For the past few months, I’ve replaced my at&t voicemail service with
. It’s a great service that’s free and I highly recommend it.

If you use voicemail on your home or mobile, you probably forward calls to a phone number that’s your voicemail service. After setting up an account with YouMail, simply change your forwarding number to the one they provide and that’s it!

But there’s some really cool features that come along with it. All your voicemails can be emailed to you with wav attachments or you can receive a text when you get a new message. Just added is text to speech beta. I’ve found that it’s not perfect but, for the most part, I can make out what the message is based on the text delivered.

Import your contacts and you can use
cool greetings
to play a specific greeting for each caller. In addition, there are also smart greetings that will play a standard message but use the caller ID, match it to your contact entry and greet the caller with their name.

The website is very easy to use and they’re a local company as well. So, sign up for their service. This is what all the cell phone providers and carriers should be offering.
