YouMail has updated its free Android Visual Voicemail Plus
app with social networking, auto-mapping and expanded Caller ID features. The application
now allows users to share voicemail, not only through e-mail or
text messages, but also by posting them directly to Facebook and
Twitter.
YouMail's new update for Android (Version 1.8.2) includes:
- Simple Sharing - with just a couple of clicks, users can
now easily post voicemail on their Facebook wall, and tweet voicemails
using existing Android twitter clients, such as HTC's Peep. - Smart Reply - YouMail automatically maps incoming phone
numbers to email addresses, so users can easily reply to an incoming
voicemail with an email or text message, either directly through the
YouMail client itself, or through other messaging clients like Gmail, with the reply automatically including a link to the original voicemail
to provide context. - Expanded Caller ID - whenever a caller leaves a message,
YouMail now pulls and displays incoming caller photos from the phone's
address book and the user's Facebook account, giving users truly
visual voicemail. YouMail also provides the caller's city and state in
addition to their phone number and name.
The average U.S. YouMail user receives at least 50 calls each
month they are unwilling or unable to answer. YouMail's free service
allows voicemail to be easily accessed, managed, and shared from any
smartphone, tablet or web connection. Voicemail sharing allows users to
instantly and effortlessly transfer messages to colleagues, friends, or
family - addressing one of YouMail's most common feature requests.
"YouMail is leading the way in integrating voicemail into the
age of social media," commented CEO Alex Quilici. "Voicemail is
migrating from a stand-alone experience into one that's social and
intertwined with the rest of a consumer's daily communications."
You Mail is free for storing up to 100 voicemail messages. The
premium service starts at $1.99 per month for 5,000 messages stored.
