The VOIP service I use for my home phone has this feature where if a caller leaves a voicemail, you have the option of having that voicemail sent to an email address(es) as an MP3 or WAV audio file. The benefit of this is that you can now be notified and check your voicemail on any computer or smartphone anywhere in the world where you have internet access. This would alleviate any confusion on whether there are any long distance, airtime, or roaming charges that would be incurred if one where to dial in to check. 

 

If this is not possible, then another way would be to allow us to check voicemail in an inbox-like format when we sign into the Public Mobile self serve website. Again, the voicemail there is just an audio file that can be played back on the computer or smartphone. If an app is developed for Public Mobile for the smartphone, this feature should also be available there as well.

 

Thanks.

I have used a freephoneline.ca number previously for voicemail when my cell did not have voicemail. I forward my phone to my freephoneline number if unanswered or unreachable. Freephone has a option to forward voicemail to email...works great and is free. I would recommend to forward to a local number to avoid an LD costs. enjoy.

Hi @ckl,

I, too, would like to see PM provide a service with emailed audio files, or, at least, audio files in our self-serve account.

Thanks for your post, and to those, current and future, who support it.

I would also like to see a voicemail to email option.  That would rock!

For all those iPhone users out there, iOS 10 does offer this ability; however, it requires Visual Voicemail, which Public Mobile doesn't support at this time.  😞

I'm pretty sure that when I was with virgin mobile I would have MMS messages packaged onto a server for streaming when I wasn't available to receive it via my phone. Then, with a link sent to my email address, I was able to access it, whether photo or voice recording.

That idea is terrific though!

I believe this is an excellent option, either sending the file to our email or to us by text message!
