    Voicemail Tips

    Get the most from your voicemail.

    1. Visual voicemail

    iPhone and most Androids show messages as a list. Tap any to play.

    2. Read transcripts

    iPhone transcribes voicemail to text. Read instead of listen.

    3. Greeting

    Record once. Mention name and a callback time. Saves callers leaving long messages.

    4. Save important ones

    Tap to save messages. Some carriers keep saved messages for years.

    5. Delete junk

    Robocaller voicemail wastes space. Delete weekly.

    6. Backup important

    Take a screenshot of transcript. Or record audio with another phone if it matters.

    Voicemails from grandkids are precious. Save them. They grow up fast.
