YouMail, individualized voicemail to freak out everyone you know
So I called my best buddy from the age of 5 the other day, and this is what I heard, “Hey Fred! I’m kinda busy right now,, what’s up? Short Pause,,,,Leave a message!” BEEP!!!
Doh! Did I feel stupid,, then I felt really cool. Hey, he’s set up a whole phone just for me (mainly due to the fact that I call incessantly, cause he’s super busy, so I just routinely call and sometimes we get to talk (its easier that way). I was fooled by YouMail!
The best part is, the basic plan is free. That’s right totally personalized voice mail messages (and easy setup,, apparently the trick is to set up a speed-dial key on your mobile to call the YouMail VM. You can also use it to check your voice mail online!
Obviously YouMail is a sweet setup (it’s approved by my buddy and all he does is work on GPS systems all day!) Go get some (it is free, what’s stopping you?) Just remember who told ya, (after those other guys of course).
You’ll know when it is catching on, when you call people and get that personalized service like,, “I know it’s you (insert your name here), so leave a message, or I’m not talking to you.”
Oh yeah, and you can totally block people too! Ex-girlfriends, Mom straight to voicemail (who me?), boss (I’m working dilligently), Cobra Commander (Duke!!!!)
Apparently Gizmodo and Pop Gadget did a bit on them a while ago,, but I didn’t know it (I had to go back a way to find it).

Please stop beginning a conversation with the word “so”. It shows complete disregard for grammar and intellect.

I am incredibly surprised no major service provider has done anything like this yet. It’s actually incredibly useful, I use the voicemail forward feature give customer requests directly to contractors and I use the online message log to keep and organize important past messages. The fact that it is free (and according to youmail will stay that way) just makes this all the better. Cheers!

Youmail is cool. I just signed up a few days ago when I saw their new video on revver. So far it’s been a lot of fun weirding out my friends.

Mike get a life this is the internet. Just because you were brainwashed into thinking theres only one way to write doesnt mean the rest of us have to be sheep and follow clowns like you. Ill bet your married, own a house, and celebrate every holiday you were brainwashed to by your parents.Your just another sheep following the rules and laws of losers like you before you.

I just saw this review and i thought i’d share the fact that i’ve been using Youmail for about 5 months now and i absolutely love it. They keep introducing new stuff like voice to text translation a few days ago and other cool stuff. i still freak my mom out with her personal greetings.
i really recommend it.

That is by far the best cell phone “add-on” if you will. I have been looking for something like this. Awesome. And its free! Great find.
