I’ll be traveling abroad for 2-3 weeks next month, during which I will not have access to my phone (don’t plan to take international roaming). In this context, what I need is some kind of a voicemail product – where any call made to my airtel number (which will be “switched off”) will get redirected to voicemail, which informs the caller that I’m traveling and they should leave a message. And I should be able to log on periodically to some website where I can listen to my collected voicemail, and possibly call back some of them.
Does such a product exist? If not, does there exist a market for this, or does everyone who wants to use a product like this can afford international roaming?
And while we are at it, are there any good voicemail apps that I can use on my Android phone (when my phone is in the sim and connected to the network)?
Thanks much!
Google Voice, of course. No?
What does that do?
You have the ability to route your voicemail to Google voice which has a very large capacity. It has a gmail like interface using which you can go through your voicemail. Thats just one of its capabilities. But that I think only works if there is already a voicemail feature provided by your carrier. I am not sure.
