YouMail Brings Rapid Innovation Approach to Cell Phone Voicemail
Basic Voicemail Service to Remain Free
IRVINE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 15, 2007 -- YouMail, Inc. (http://www.youmail.com) announced
the latest release of their cell phone voicemail service that addresses a
number of key customer requests, bringing rapid customer-driven innovation
to the wireless industry. It further announced that YouMail's service will
remain free.
YouMail's free service provides customers with a personalized voicemail
experience that allows users to:
-- Express themselves through personal greetings specific to each caller
ID.
-- Choose how to retrieve and manage their voicemail: by phone, or online
through a visual voicemail interface that lets them select which voicemails
to play and save voicemails that matter, plus easily share voicemails with
family and friends.
-- Control who can leave voicemails with YouMail's "DitchMail" feature,
which plays a personalized message and then hangs up on undesirable
callers.
-- Choose whether to be notified about voicemails through text messages
or e-mails, both of which tell them everything about the voicemail so they
can decide whether or not to take the time to play it.
YouMail also announced a set of major user-driven changes to their service.
YouMail broke with tradition in the telecom world by soliciting feedback
from their users and rapidly addressing their suggestions.
-- It is now even easier to sign up for YouMail and switch to YouMail's
voicemail service. YouMail provides visual online instructions that walk
people through the easy 3-step setup process.
-- YouMail's telephone interface is now the fastest and most convenient
way for people to retrieve their voicemail over the phone. YouMail has
focused on simple and effective prompts and a minimum of required user
interaction.
-- YouMail includes a set of the most common "pre-recorded greetings"
allowing for quick customization of user voicemail greetings.
-- YouMail is now even more reliable and stable. YouMail has upgraded its
service to a scalable, carrier-grade platform.
