IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - May 23, 2011) - YouMail, Inc. (www.youmail.com) -- a leading provider of cloud-based communications apps and services for smart phones -- today announced its latest update to the iOS Visual Voicemail Plus application for iPhones, iPads, and iPods Touch.
The updates significantly extend the YouMail iPhone user experience to make it both 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 all from within the comfort of the app itself. It's now just a few taps for them to find the perfect professionally recorded greeting or to "RickRoll" their friends.
Number Search. YouMail has baked Google mobile search into the app itself, so that with one tap, you can find out exactly who is leaving you messages, and whether or not they should be blocked forever. The YouMail user need only tap the new magnifying glass on the voicemail playing page to search for more info on the caller's phone number.
In addition, iOS users who aren't YouMail users can point their iPhone to http://greetings.youmail.com to explore the YouMail greeting community.
"YouMail has always had a very rich web-based experience for computer users," said CEO, Alex Quilici. "We're now focused on making that mobile and bringing it into the YouMail app itself."
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.
