YouMail to Provide Free Visual Voicemail BlackBerry Application

YouMail, a provider of customizable cell phone voicemail service, has announced the availability of Visual Voicemail Plus, its voicemail application for BlackBerry (News - Alert) phones including the Pearl, Curve, Bold and Storm.

This application allows BlackBerry users to access visual voicemail that works with YouMail's (News - Alert) desktop visual voicemail service on their mobile phone or online.

Alex Quilici, CEO of YouMail, said, “Visual voicemail is only a small portion of what voicemail needs to and can do."

Quilici also said that YouMail's Visual Voicemail Plus allows BlackBerry users to enjoy the speed and convenience of visual voicemail, for free, in addition to having access to all of the other voicemail enhancements in YouMail's voicemail service.

 

YouMail's BlackBerry application was built on its open API. This API is a first among existing voicemail applications and makes YouMail a mobile platform.

Features of Visual Voicemail Plus include the ability to scroll through incoming voicemail messages and see caller information; play voicemails by simply clicking on them; easily share voicemails as an email or post to sites using a simple cut and paste feature.

 

BlackBerry customers also have access to additional YouMail features, like access to their voicemail online when they're near a desktop computer, personalized greetings, the YouMail greetings community, and community-based or personalized voicemail filtering.

YouMail’s Visual Voicemail Plus application for Blackberry phones will initially be available to customers running Blackberry O/S version 4.3 or later on T-Mobile, Verizon (News - Alert) Wireless, and AT&T Wireless phones.

"We're extremely pleased about where we've come in terms of pushing the limits of what users can get out of visual voicemail and are happy to offer an unparalleled visual voicemail experience to customers at no cost," added Quilici.

 

"This application streamlines the visual voicemail experience for all BlackBerry phone users and it a valuable tool for anyone who wants to get through their voicemails more quickly and efficiently."

The YouMail service is being adopted rapidly by consumers, especially mobile professionals, and the company has a growing set of distribution partnerships with wireless carriers.
