People are missing phone calls every day. It’s practically impossible to answer them all. And once you miss a call, how often do you check your voicemail box? Even if the answer is as often as possible, some voicemail messages are still likely to remain unanswered. Fortunately, there’s an effective solution – voicemail to email.
In a nutshell, it’s a feature that is available with a VoIP (voice over internet protocol) phone service, where your received voicemail recordings are sent to the email inbox as audio files you can later listen to, ensuring you go through every single recording. This can significantly increase your and your team’s reliability and productivity, giving a boost to your organization’s overall efficiency.
Voicemail to Email Explained
As mentioned, voicemail to email is a VoIP system feature that forwards voicemail messages to an email inbox as audio files. This solution allows recipients to access their voicemail recordings via email, smartphone, or any other device, without having to go through the process of calling your voicemail service.
In general, a standard voicemail to email service allows you to listen to the recorded voicemail message. However, several systems also provide users with a voicemail transcription option, which recipients can later read. The goal of voicemail to email services is to make voicemails more accessible, ensuring all the missed calls are dealt with properly without disrupting your business workflow.
How Does the Voicemail to Email Feature Work?
Once you set up the VoIP system with a voicemail to email service in it, every time a caller leaves a voicemail message on your cell phone, it will be instantly forwarded to the designated email address. Here’s how it works in more detail:
-
1. A person leaves a voicemail message on your phone.
-
2. The new voicemail is then converted into an audio file, such as a .wav file, and sent to the designated email account.
-
3. Once the voicemail recording lands in your inbox, you will be notified that the voicemail message is ready to access.
You can receive not only email notifications but also text message notifications. You can also decide whether the system should save your incoming voicemails or provide transcripts. Also, it’s important to note here that all new messages will come with information regarding the date and time of the voicemail, as well as the caller ID information.
