dialing your voicemail to enter a PIN and hear your messages are over. Well, you can still <em>technically<\/em> check your voicemail this way, but when visual voicemail is an option, why would you choose anything else?<\/p>\n<p>When using visual voicemail through an app or your phone carrier or manufacturer, you can see all of your voicemails at once. Sometimes, you can even view a tran<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a> preview of the call, so you know what the message is about before you even open it. Being able to see all your voicemails makes it much easier to maintain your messages and not end up with 20 messages that you just haven\u2019t gotten around to deleting.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Look_For_in_a_Visual_Voicemail_App\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_0\">What to Look For in a Visual Voicemail App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have the option of using a proprietary visual voicemail app through your phone\u2019s manufacturer or carrier, you\u2019ll need to download a third-party app instead. Though all the options on this list are vetted and pretty awesome, here\u2019s everything you\u2019ll need to look for if you stray from the list and go searching on your own:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ease of Use:<\/strong>\u00a0The best visual voicemail apps are easy to navigate. Even if you only get a few voicemails every month, the app should be simple enough to use that you don\u2019t dread checking your voicemail. An ideal user interface for a visual voicemail app will display everything you need to see on the home screen, so you can view your voicemails as soon as the app opens. It\u2019ll also make any other settings you may want to access easy to find.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Features:<\/strong>\u00a0There are quite a few special features that come with a visual voicemail app that you might not see if using your phone\u2019s built-in voicemail service. One feature that most visual voicemail apps have in common is the ability to transcribe the audio from a voicemail to text, so you can quickly skim a voicemail and pick out the important parts without having to listen to it. Some voicemail apps, like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#moka_anchor_GoogleVoice\">Google Voice<\/a>, also allow you to search through past transcripts. You can also customize your voicemail greeting and, depending on the app, even personalize greetings for individual people. Voicemail apps will often incorporate some type of spam blocking feature as well, but not always, so be sure to check if this is an important feature for you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Customer Support:<\/strong>\u00a0Sometimes, you\u2019ll get a voicemail with important information about a doctor\u2019s appointment or a job interview that you want to save. In case anything goes wrong with the app\u2014like your voicemails all get deleted, or they\u2019re not being transcribed properly\u2014you\u2019ll want to ensure there\u2019s excellent customer service on the other end of the app.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost:<\/strong>\u00a0Since there are some great free options out there, you shouldn\u2019t need to pay anything for a visual voicemail app. That said, some visual voicemail apps offer paid subscriptions that come with extra features. If you end up needing more transcribed voicemails than the free plan offers, more personalized greetings, or voicemails for more than one number, a paid subscription would be worth it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_About_Visual_Voicemail_Through_a_Carrier_or_Phone_Manufacturer\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">What About Visual Voicemail Through a Carrier or Phone Manufacturer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before testing out visual voicemail apps, make sure that your phone doesn\u2019t already have a built-in option for you.

If something pops up, that\u2019s from your phone\u2019s manufacturer; the two largest manufacturers with visual voicemail built-in are Samsung and Apple. Setting up visual voicemail through your phone\u2019s manufacturer is pretty straightforward, and you should be able to intuitively follow the on-screen steps.<\/p>\n<p>If your phone doesn\u2019t have a built-in, proprietary visual voicemail app, there\u2019s still the option of an app from your phone carrier. Several phone carriers have developed a visual voicemail app you can download from the app store to use if you\u2019re a customer. Here are a few of the most popular options out there right now:<\/p>\n<p>For all the apps listed above, there\u2019s no iOS version. This is likely because <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/781798\/how-to-set-up-voicemail-on-iphone\/\">Apple has its own visual voicemail app<\/a> that it wants people to use if they have an iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t find a visual voicemail app through your phone\u2019s carrier or manufacturer, don\u2019t worry!
