YouMail Launches New Android App, Reaches New Metrics Benchmarks
IRVINE, CA, Aug 11, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
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.
