What Is Virtual Voicemail?

Virtual voicemail is a modern upgrade to old-fashioned voicemail systems. 

Messages are stored in the cloud, allowing you to listen to them on your phone or computer from anywhere without the need to save them on a physical device.

Features like Email Forwarding or Transcription make you more productive. Managing your voicemails becomes easier, allowing you to prioritize important messages.

Virtual voicemail can forward calls to another number and send notifications, like pop-ups or emails, so you always know when you have a new message waiting for you.

How Does Virtual Voicemail Work?

When you miss a call, the virtual voicemail system kicks in with a pre-recorded greeting. The caller can then leave a message, just like with traditional voicemail.

After a message is left, you receive a notification via email, SMS, or mobile app. You can listen to your messages through the app, a web browser, or by calling into your voicemail box.

You set up custom pathways for callers, ensuring they reach the right voicemail boxes for teams or individual agents.

It lets you add a personal touch by creating custom greetings tailored to specific agents or departments
