YouMail, the only generally available, free, customizable cell phone voicemail service, announced the public beta of visual voicemail for smartphone users. The new mobile platform allows users to access YouMail from their smartphone home screen, enabling them to listen to voicemail messages, forward messages on to other people, or reply via SMS without ever having to dial into their voicemail service.
Â
To begin accessing YouMail’s visual voicemail service, users visit YouMail from their cell phone browser and log in with their YouMail user ID. The user can then easily bookmark the site from their smartphone home screen for easy one-click access in the future. Visual voicemail from YouMail allows users to easily view, listen and forward their most recent voicemail messages, while viewing the callers photo, name, city and state. These features are available through the mobile Web so the user never has to call their mailbox.
Â
YouMail’s new visual voicemail service works on nearly all smartphones, including the most popular handsets like Blackberries, Treos and the iPhone, and devices manufactured by Palm, Nokia and others.
