For those of you with Verizon cellphones, did you know there’s a feature in your voicemail that allows you to send a voice message as easy as sending a txt? Yeah its pretty cool, check this out.
If you call your voicemail box (your cell #), enter your password, then press 2 to send
a message. Then it says “at the tone, please record your message, when you are finished
recording, press #” then record a voice message, press pound, then it will ask you for the destination mailbox, type in the destination 10 digit phone number, then it will say
“checking destination”, say to you the callers name, then it’ll say
“message sent” or ” press * if no more destinations”, for those
who want to send the same message to multiple recipients., you can press pound again to add another destination, so on and so forth. My friend Chad actually uses this service, or a similar service only offered by Verizon I think, to send the same voicemail to multiple people in his contact list, you know to tell people where he will be doing his karaoke shows at that particular week.
pretty sweet eh? Of course this only works between mobile to mobile, but I’m sure AT&T, and Centennial have a similar feature built into their voicemail box. I’ve never used either of those carriers so I don’t know, but it is a nice feature that verizon wireless offers to their customers.
Another thing, if you call your voicemail from a land line phone, instead of thru your cellphone, you won’t be charged airtime fees just for checking voicemail. Us cheapo’s are always looking at stuff like that to save on airtime minutes. lol otherwise I’d probably be charged 100 minutes a month just in airtime fees to my voicemail box. lol
