Hi all,
I'm curious. Is anyone here using Youmail?
In my personal network, no one is, and unfortunately, no one's willing to. I have a hard time understanding why.
It offers a lot, from the trivial but fun to the actually useful. For me, being able to record custom greetings tailored for specific people in my contacts is a lot of fun, and for them it's a nice treat when they decide to call me. Being able to upload greetings directly from the internet as an MP3 file makes the experience even more fun, as someone who enjoys messing around with audio projects.
As I see it, it's 2023, so why not have some fun? The usual, "Hi, you've reached X. Please leave your name and number and I'll get back to you as soon as possible," is nothing but filler. After all, almost all cellular carriers offer caller ID, so unless you want someone to call a different number, I don't see why it's necessary to leave one to fill time.
But in the category of more useful, Youmail offers more improved caller ID and can screen out spam calls. The call blocking features are extremely robust and configurable, so you can block any range of activity.
Plus, when calls are reported as scams, Youmail makes sure that information is relayed to authorities and the appropriate action is taken.
Youmail is a free service with advertisements available on both Android and iOS, but you can upgrade for extra functionality, extra phone numbers and to remove ads.
If you try it, I'm very curious what your thoughts are. If you've used it before, I'd love to hear the same.
