Have you ever wished that some people would just get the message and stop calling? A creditor, ex spouse? Ex spouses new spouse??? YOU MAIL helps you get your message across.
Maybe you'd prefer a more professional message for your clients, and something with a little more personality for friends and family. YOU MAIL gives you hundreds of custom greetings to choose from.
Once you sign up at YOU MAIL, take a few moments and add your contacts to the website. Then browse through the custom 'greetings' and choose a new greeting for each of your contacts.
If you don't choose a greeting, the default greeting your callers hear goes like this:
"Hello John (if John is their name), Christine (if Christine is your name) is not available right now. Please leave a message after the beep".
The system will announce each caller by name as long as they are in your list of contacts.
Now, back to the callers you don't care to hear from again. There are 'greetings' that are actually called 'Ditch Mail'. They usually go something like this:
"The number you have reached is not in service at this time, please check the number and try again later" and best of all, it doesn't give the caller the opportunity to leave a message.
Another good one:
"The number you have reached is no longer in service" and then the system 'ditches' the caller and they are unable to leave a message.
There are dozens more to choose from, but they tend to get a little rude and more direct so I won't include them here.
There are greetings that include everything from Austin Powers to Bart Simpson. Also some terrific Military ones as well! Plenty of professional ones to choose from, as well as melodies and more famous people.
One favorite of mine starts out like this:
"You have reached the police department's voice mail. Please listen carefully as some of our selections have changed" and then it goes into some pretty funny stuff!
Aside from the greetings available, what this service really does best is translate your caller's voice mail to text and then sends it to your cell phone. How often have you been in a meeting and you know that someone just left a voice mail. But you can't check your voice mail in the middle of your meeting. So what do you do? The system will transcribe the voice mail and first send you a text letting you know that you have a voice mail waiting from "John Doe" using "Verizon" at "123-456-7890" and that the voice mail is "3 minutes" long (provided your caller is John Doe and he's calling from a Verizon cell phone with the number being 123-456-7890). Next comes the text message with the exact transcription of the voice mail. You don't even have to be conspicuos about retrieving your 'voice mail'. No one will ever know!
Besides the features listed already, YOU MAIL's website will list all of your recent voice mails along with a link to listen to them online. You also have the option of receiving an email that transcribes your voice mails, and also includes a voice recording as an attachment.
