Voicemail support

If a call comes in to your XOIP number, XOIP will try to connect the call to the telephone number which is active at that time. If it cannot connect to you, or you do not pick up, the call will go to voicemail. If you do not forward your calls, XOIP voicemail will pick up automatically.

You can set how long XOIP rings your phone before diverting to voicemail.

Greeting your callers

Your number will automatically invite your caller to leave a message by way of the standard greeting “Welcome to the XOIP mailbox of 012 345 6789, please leave a message after the tone.”

You can record your own personal greeting, that XOIP will use to greet your callers.

XOIP allows you to record a temporary greeting, that you can use, for example, if you are on vacation or out of the country.  It is very easy to switch between your regular and temporary greetings.

Voicemails in your email

Your voicemails are sent to your email as .wav attachments. These can be listened to on your PC.

Accessing your voicemail from your mobile phone

If you call your XOIP number from your mobile phone, XOIP will recognise you.  You will hear your new messages, and then be taken to the main menu.

To be recognised, it’s important that your mobile phone number is set in your number settings.
