Pinger (News - Alert), Inc. has introduced Pinger voicemail, a voicemail replacement service for mobile phones.

 

The company states that Pinger voicemail replaces slow and hard to manage voicemail systems with a “speedy, interactive and visual voicemail service.”

 

Also, Pinger voicemail frees voice messages so they can be forwarded and replied to instantly without an additional phone call and regardless of the carrier.

 

Noting that voicemail is something everyone tolerates but no one loves, Greg Woock, CEO at Pinger, added in a statement, “One of the big frustrations with traditional voicemail is users’ inability to immediately respond to messages without hanging up and having to make a call.”

 

He also indicated that Pinger solves this problem while also bringing “personalization, simplicity and a great web interface to mobile phone voicemail.”

 

Pinger voicemail allows users to record personalized greetings for each of their friends, family members or co-workers. Also, users can receive a visual voicemail showing envelope information about the sender, message duration, date and time for each voicemail.

 

In addition through the new voicemail service, users can manage their voicemail accounts and access and reply to their messages from the web as well as reply to and forward messages directly from their voicemail without making any separate calls.

 

At present, Pinger voicemail is available in the US to Alltel (News - Alert), AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon subscribers. The company notes that Pinger voicemail service is free, but carriers may charge normal rates for phone calls, text messages and call forwarding.
