1.0 Introduction:
A voicemail, short for "voice message," is a digital or analog recording of a spoken

message left by a caller when the person they are trying to reach is unavailable to

answer their phone. Voicemail allows individuals to leave messages for one another,

much like leaving a written note or email, but in audio form. When someone's phone is

switched off, out of network coverage, in use, or simply not answered, the caller can

leave a voicemail, and the recipient can listen to the message later, typically by

accessing their voicemail inbox through their phone or a voicemail service

Voicemail system ensures that your voicemail messages are delivered with exceptional

audio quality, so your voice is heard clearly, no matter the situation. Your messages are

important, and we're here to make sure they're heard in the best possible way.
