IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 8, 2011) - YouMail, Inc. (www.youmail.com) -- a leading provider of cloud-based communications apps and services for smartphones -- today announced the latest update to its BlackBerry Visual Voicemail Plus application.
The updates significantly extend the YouMail BlackBerry user experience to make it more fun and more useful:
In-App Community Greetings. Users can now easily browse, search, and add to YouMail's growing set of tens of thousands of user-provided greetings within YouMail's BlackBerry app itself. With a few clicks, YouMail's users can let people know they're in a meeting or on a plane during the day, while turning on humorous greetings (including "Rickrolling") for friends and family at night.
- Number Search. YouMail has also added one-click search within its BlackBerry application. The YouMail user now need only choose the "Caller Search" menu option to search for more info on the caller's phone number.
In addition, BlackBerry users who aren't YouMail users can point their BlackBerry phone to http://greetings.youmail.com to explore the YouMail greeting community.
"YouMail is known for great caller ID and its greetings community," said CEO Alex Quilici. "We've extended the application to make it easy to find even more information about callers and to easily find and use pre-recorded greetings."
YouMail is available to post-paid mobile users in the US on all major carriers including AT&T Wireless, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and T-Mobile. YouMail can also be used to unify a user's mobile voicemail with their voice messages from VOIP service providers such as Google Voice, MagicJack, OOMA, and Vonage.
