Voicemail Means Missing a Call is
Never an Issue

The answering machine has long been a staple when it comes to home phones and is especially useful if you can't make it to the phone. With your Phonely account your callers can leave you a message using your voicemail facility and you can listen to it by dialling 5500.

Making Use of Your Voicemail

You're not always next to your phone and reaching it in time before it rings off isn't always possible. But you don't have to worry as your voicemail can pick up your calls for you.

Voicemail is just like an answering machine.

Listen to Voicemails

Always get the message

Having voicemail means that you will never miss an important message from friends, family or your healthcare provider. So don't worry if you're out, in another room or just otherwise engaged as you'll still get any vital information.

Use Call Recording to Recall Details

It's easy so you'll keep your independence

You'll know you have a message by either looking at your handset or listening to your dial tone. To hear your message is super simple, just dial 5500 & your messages will play for you in turn. Learn more.

There's Help if You Need It

Less pressure & less stress

It's easy to feel pressure to answer the phone as soon as it rings and for many reasons. One might be that you're worried you may miss out on something. With your Phonely account, you can rely on your voicemail to take any phone messages, so you don't have to feel stressed as soon as the phone rings when you're not near it.

Allowing your callers to leave a message will also give your friends and family peace of mind that should you not be able to answer, they can still communicate anything that they need to. This could be confirming when they will visit, updating you on a new healthcare appointment or just wishing you a happy birthday!
