Basic voicemail only number
« on: February 22, 2018, 02:08:29 PM »
Anyone have a recommendation for a friend of mine that wants to set up a voicemail only account?  Not looking for email related services.  This is for someone that does not even have or want to have  a cellphone. Just needs a number where people can leave him messages and he can call in to retrieve them. Hopefully for a very low monthly fee.

Thanks

  Thanks

I don’t think he wants a googlevoice account.  He is a rebbe in a yeshiva where that wouldn’t fly. I need something else I can set up for him.

Any ideas?

Why not Google voice, just set it up online, and then you don't need any more access

Does it always say “the google voice subscriber is not available “ or is there a way to avoid that message?

A different outgoing message can be recorded.

Why cant a rebbe have a GV number?


If he is only going to call in and never login online he should write down the PW for the account so he doesnt lose access

He is not going to login.  But I set it up for him and it should work.  Thanks for your help it was much simpler than I expected.
