IRVINE, CA, Aug 11 (MARKET WIRE) --
YouMail Inc. (www.youmail.com), a leading provider of digital secretary
services for managing mobile voicemail, today announced the release of a
new Android app and that the service has surpassed the impressive
benchmark of handling over one million calls a day, with well over 450
million calls processed overall, and over 100 million in the past three
months.
The new Android app expands on the previous, much-downloaded version with
features such as:
-- YouMail's smart greetings, which automatically greet callers by name.
-- Selecting and using any greeting users have recorded in the app or
recorded and uploaded online.
-- Using greetings selected from the YouMail greetings community at
"greetings.youmail.com."
-- Easily switching between status greetings ("I'm on a plane," "I'm at a
meeting," etc).
YouMail now optimizes the amount of data used by delivering
voicemails in a more compressed format, and has made the app very easy to
set up. Users can now choose between smart greetings or recording a
greeting when they first use the app, as well as choose to have an email
copy of every voicemail sent.
The impressive YouMail usage metrics have been boosted by broad user
adoption within both Fortune 50 companies and small businesses alike, the
YouMail BlackBerry app's consistent listing as a top "Productivity"
download, the YouMail API-powered YouView visual voicemail app's
consistent top ranking for paid apps in the Palm app store, increased
usage of YouMail's premium voice-to-text offerings and extensive
word-of-mouth promotion courtesy of satisfied customers.
"We're very excited and pleased to see YouMail growing so quickly, marked
by both our new Android app and passing the 450 million calls benchmark,"
commented CEO Alex Quilici. "This clearly shows both significant consumer
demand for our offering and demonstrates our ability to scale our
offering."
YouMail's growth has also been driven through regional wireless and VOIP
carriers who have recognize how YouMail vastly improves the functionality
and ease of use of their traditional voicemail systems. Carriers such as
IMMIX Wireless in Pennsylvania, Cellular One in East Central Illinois,
Blue Wireless in New York, iSmart Mobile in Montana, VoicePulse in New
Jersey and Windy City Cellular in Adak, Alaska, have set YouMail as their
standard voicemail service or are providing it as a featured option to
their customers.
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.
