Site of the Day: YouMail

I heard about this site before but, never thought about using it. So let me give you the back story, I was receiving a lot of voicemail for solicitors and everything and contrary to popular belief, putting your name on that list does not guarantee that they will not call you. Another thing is that T-Mobile and most other service providers charge you anytime minutes to check your voicemail. (Bet you didn't know that...) Another facet of this problem was the new OS that I loaded to my phone. Because it wasn't the final release, one of the bugs with the T-Mobile OS is no voicemail icon when VM's are received. No big deal though but I would like when I am receiving VM from important people like the family, friends, and etc. Well, fast forward to today....The site of the day is YouMail. They way YouMail works is that they forward all of your voicemail to the specialized inbox. This gives you the ability to check your voicemail from anywhere, that includes a PC, a Blackberry, or any other type of PDA the capability to browse the Internet. If your phone has the ability to have email "pushed" to it, then you can receive emails that will let you know the name and number that called. Other features of YouMail are custom greetings for individuals, Ditchmail (a wonderful feature for people that you don't wanna leave a voicemail or better yet call you back...), and etc. The best thing about this is that the price is FREE!!! You cancel at anytime and signing up for this service does not mess with your regular voicemail so there are no worries about that. Here is the link to YouMail's website. So until next time....
