What is a voice mail system?

A voice mail system is a centralized system used in businesses for sending, storing and retrieving audio messages, just like an answering machine would do at home.

Each extension in a phone system is normally linked to a voice mailbox, so when the number is called and the line is not answered or is busy, the caller listens to a message previously recorded by the user. This message can give instructions to the caller to leave a voice message or gives other available options, such as paging the user or being transferred to another extension or a receptionist.

A voicemail system in a business is essential to keep external and internal communications flowing seamlessly and efficiently.
