voicemail
1 of 1nouna system that allows callers to leave recorded messages for someone who is unable to answer their phone
Voicemail is a system that allows callers to leave recorded messages when the person they are trying to reach is unavailable to answer the phone. When a call is not answered, the voicemail system automatically picks up, and the caller can leave a message that can be listened to later. Voicemail systems are commonly used on mobile phones, landlines, and business lines. They allow the recipient to hear the message at their convenience, ensuring important information is not missed. Some voicemail systems also offer features like greetings, message storage, and the ability to send or receive voicemail notifications.
