Should you replace your voicemail with YouMail?

Posted by Alli Flowers at 11:59 PM

Using alternate voicemail with Sprint can be painful. Sprint customer service very begrudgingly changed my "no answer, forward" number to YouMail so that I could try it out.

(N.B. for Sprint customers: The customer service representative (CSR) who I spoke to assured me that customers can now set the "no answer, forward" number themselves. Unfortunately, the code she gave me to use didn't work. So be firm with Sprint CSR if you want to take advantage of services like YouMail.)

YouMail has some innovative and fun features. The basic premise behind YouMail is that everyone should be greeted personally, and traditional voicemail doesn't do that. So while you can have a standard outgoing message to everyone, you can also have dozens of personal outgoing messages played to individual callers that you can change whenever you want. YouMail matches your caller's caller ID with your address book to give each caller a totally unique voicemail experience.

Wouldn't it be nice if domain naming followed a standard protocol? Vance Hedderel, Director of PR and Communications at dotMobi certainly thinks so. In this CTIA interview, Vance tells us the point behind standardization, and who is behind the movement.

With the plethora of devices available with internet access, it becomes more and more important for internet content providers to be aware of the needs of the consumer. It is even more important for those commercial content providers. Listen to Vince explain his thoughts about the benefits of this intelligent naming convention.

Much has been discussed in the forums about screen protectors. We almost universally agree that they are a necessity, but which is the best? That decision is about to become just a little harder. Listen to Kirk Feller, and watch him demonstrate BodyGuardz, a seemingly indestructible shield for your screen or your entire device.

Dial2Do

After speaking to Ivan McDonald about Dial2Do at CTIA, I was really anxious to try their service. I logged on as soon as I returned home. After about 10 days I received my invitation to join the closed beta.

Looking forward to comparing Dial2Do with Jott, I started adding contacts. Any time I can import contacts, I'm happy, and being able to import my entire address book and then check off the ones I actually wanted to use in Dial2Do made me very happy!
