What Is Visual Voicemail?

 

Visual voicemail allows you to see all your messages at a glance and prioritize them without having to listen to them in the order in which they were received. Through transcripts, icons, and other features, you see a snapshot of your messages and can take actions quickly, helping you work more efficiently and provide better communication to your customers and colleagues.

Visual voicemail provides you with important information about each call in addition to a transcript. When you open your voicemail system you will see: The day and time the call was received The length of the message Whether the message is marked as urgent Whether the caller has requested a call back You can even save the message as an audio file to your device or upload it to the cloud for safe-keeping. Want to have someone else listen to the call as well? You can easily forward the message to that person.
