Voice mail

1. Description

"Voice mail" is a very useful feature for enterprise or small business users. For example, when the user (service subscriber) is out of office and cannot answer the call, miniSIPServer will prompt the caller to leave voice messages and send them to the user's email-box. The subscriber can retrieve and check these messages (emails) when he/she is idle.

The voice mail service of cloud miniSIPServer includes following features:

  • When the subscriber is unreachable or no-answer, miniSIPServer will prompt the greeting voice to the incoming caller party to leave message.
  • miniSIPServer can send these voice messages to the subscriber's email box.
  • Each local user can has its personalized greeting voice.
  • Each local user can record its own personalized greeting voice very easily.
