YouMail Voicemail & Spam Block

Hello, Did you dial the youmail activate that was put into your contacts list? That's how the calls on your IPhone are forwarded to your youmail instead of the IPhone's voicemail. You might also want to listen to the podcast I submitted about this app. Remember, go to your contact list, find youmail activate and call it. The number is just a long set of numbers, like a ocde. Once you call it, you'll hear a series of little dial tones and then the call will disconnect. From now on, all your voicemails will be forwarded to youmail. If you want to go back to the original IPhone voicemail, find the youmail deactivate in your contact list and dial that. I hope this helps. Take care, Melissa

Well I finally got it worked out. For anyone who uses Fido Canada the process to get Youmail up and running is a long one. I spent most of the day working on this and I would imagine it is the same for Rogers and other Canadian carriers. Anyone who needs help with Fido can let me know and I will walk them through the process. It is a good app once you get it going. Thanks again Melisa for the podcast. JP

What's New in Version 2.6.19 - Better "Smart Greeting" for businesses. - Improved security - Various enhancements and bug fixes.

Hello, I know that the Youmail app was recently updated to version 3.2.54. Has anyone tested this for VoiceOver accessibility? Judging by past comments, it sounds as though the app should be accessible; however, I just want to confirm this before downloading and getting started with it.

Hi Melissa, You have a podcast on this app? Would you post a link. Could not find it on Applevis. Thanks so much!

Is this app primarily if your iPhone is a business phone? Will it be beneficial to a personal cell phone user? Thanks.

Hello there! If you have any questions about our app, you can also Live Chat or email us at support.youmail.com. We'd be more than happy to help you out!

Thanks for your question!

Our app will definitely be useful to the everyday personal cell phone user. Our free app is geared toward users who just use their phones for everyday use and not necessarily business. In the free version, you get our strong and effective call blocking which stops spam robocallers from ringing your phone and leaving you a message, our Smart Greeting which greets each caller by name, our cloud-based inbox, personalized greetings (so your family can hear 1 greeting, your spouse another, and coworkers another, etc.) auto-reply which sends texts to your callers who leave voicemails, and more.

There are many paid features for business users, so if you'd like to learn more about those, let us know and we'd be happy to answer any questions!

Hello,
Just wanted to update people on the status of this app. A couple of weeks ago I contacted support because I found I could not swipe in the folders that contain messages, at least not with VoiceOver.
The update from yesturday fixes this, and I can now find the message i want to move or delete, and flick up or down to find the action I want to do.
There is still a bit of a problem when selecting more than one message though. After tapping the edit button, and selecting messages, VoiceOver will not report which messages are selected, and which are not. For example, saying selected on the messages that are highlighted, and reading the other ones as normal. This would help when trying to handle more than one message.
They did a great job on this update, and I hope they keep it up.

Someone asked if this would be useful as an every day user, and I think it is. The robo call blocking is great for a start, and it has really cut down on the number of robo calls I get over the past few months I've started using it. I don't know if its the tones they play before the out of service message starts to play, but I don't get nearly as many spam calls as I used to.
I am also hard of hearing, and sometimes listening to a voice message as more than I can handle at the end of a day. Reading what a message says in braille or listening to it word by word with speech is much, much, much easier than trying to listen to a message over and over again, to gather what it has to say, sometimes playing with the volume buttons all the while.
iOS has the ability to transcribe messages as well, but i find YouMail dues a much better job at this, not using the underlines scattered throughout the message, and putting periods or camas using the gaps in the message's wording makes for a much better reading experience.
Thanks again for a great app, and a great update!

Thank you very much for your review and feedback of our newest update! We're thrilled to hear that our updates improved the app for you and that you think our app is useful for the everyday user. Thank you also for the feedback about selecting more than one message. We'll look into that issue and work to resolve it.

As we've said before, we're always looking to make our app more accessible and identify and resolve any bugs as soon as possible, so your feedback is invaluable to us!
