Visual Voicemail does exactly what it says on the tin. Visual Voicemail allows you to see who left you messages and then read or play the voicemail in any order. You choose what to read or listen to and which messages to delete or save, while effortlessly calling or texting people back. It is the fastest way to get through your voice messages.

Since its inception in early 2007, visual voicemail has taken on many forms and has increased the productivity of hundreds of thousands of individuals and businesses around the world. If you haven’t tried it out yet, download it for free on iPhone or Android.

Without the smartphone visual voicemail would clearly have been a non-starter, and it is safe to say that visual voicemail owes its success in part to the smartphone. Apple’s iPhone and AT&T were the first smartphone and mobile operator to offer visual voicemail to their users. It is important to note your mobile operator must support visual voicemail, but not all of them do.

If your mobile operator does not support Visual Voicemail or you simply want a smarter Visual Voicemail, like the ability to search them, you can get it with Hullomail, and you can try it for free on iPhone or Android. 

Voicemail to text (sometimes called “voicemail transcription”) takes the audio from your voicemails and transcribes it into text. So instead of having to listen to potentially long-winded messages, you can simply read them. You can think of it as turning your voicemail messages into the equivalent of text messages. It is a very fast way to get through your voicemail messages, as it makes voicemail as easy and efficient as email or SMS.

HulloMail works by replacing your operator voicemails service. Simply download the App for iPhone or Android, signup, follow the instructions and try for free for 14 days.

In its simplest form voicemails are displayed in a list in order of time and date received. You can randomly choose which voicemails you want to deal with first – you can read, play, pause, share and delete.

Hullomail is a smart visual voicemail with cool features such as search and personal greetings. You can even block callers from leaving you a voicemail!

Voicemail to Email is a feature that lets you send copies of your voicemails to your chosen email address with both the transcription and the audio as an attachment.

Similar in design to personal greetings, individual greetings let users record a greeting that will play to a specific contact. This is great if you have a number of contacts that you want to greet in different ways. It’s a nice touch for family and friends as you can create funny or personal messages and for business it’s nice to take a customer or colleague by surprise and know that you have taken the time to create something just for them.

Unlike network operator voicemail, HulloMail captures missed calls when your phone is off or has no coverage. Our users often notice they have many more missed calls than they previously thought, tut-tut mobile operator!
