Visual Voicemail on the iPhone

Certainly, the visual voicemail function contained on the iPhone is one of the biggest sale motivators. With the iPhone there is no need to call into a voicemail message box or entering any passwords to listen to messages left by others. There is no need to listen to all messages and continuously pressing buttons to listen to the remainder of the messages.

Whenever a caller leaves a voicemail message the iPhone will wake up and display a notification on the screen of the voicemail message that was left. If activated, you may also hear the message alert tone sounding.

Setting up Voicemail
The first time you visit the Voicemail screen you will be prompted to set a numeric password for your voicemail account. This will only be required the first time you access this facility.

Here you will also be asked to record a message for your voicemail facility. You will have two options here, as you can make use of the iPhones’ custom pre-recorded default message or create your own custom recorded message.

Viewing Voicemail Messages
Once here, you will be in a position to view all received voicemail messages in chronological order. This list will display the callers’ name, if listed in your contacts list and the telephone number from where they dialled.

You are now in a position to view and listed to any voicemail message you wish. You are not restricted to listen to messages in a specific order.

In order to listen to a voicemail message, simply tap the name of the message twice. This is in contradiction with the usual one-tap function of the iPhone.

Remember, it is required that you turn on the phone speaker as you will be looking at your phone and not holding it to your ear.

Also, important to note is that the iPhone will store new messages for a period of 30 days. Ensure that you visit this facility frequently in order to prevent a loss of information.
