Segreteria telefonica: come lasciare un messaggio

VOICEMAIL,ANSWERPHONE

When you call someone but they aren’t there, often their voicemail “picks up” or answers the phone. Then you have to leave a message. Anyone who uses the phone in their job has to deal with voicemail

Voice mail offers many communications advantages over answering machines, including the ability for users to check their messages remotely.With the traditional answering machine, the user must be in the same place -- often literally standing nearby -- at the machine
