Voice mails
Voice mails! A necessary evil in our busy lives. Here's a rundown on voice mails:
What is a voice mail? A voice mail is a recorded message left by someone who cannot reach you directly, usually because you're not available or your phone is busy. The message is typically recorded using a phone's voice mail system or an answering machine.
How do voice mails work? When someone tries to call you and you're not available, your phone's voice mail system or answering machine will pick up the call and ask the caller to leave a message. The caller can then record a message, which is stored on the voice mail system or answering machine.
