We provide visual voicemail on any internet connected device – mobile phones, iPads, computers – that unifies your mobile, home, and work messages.
How are they different?
We’re focused on:
1) A great experience for callers – including greeting callers by name or personal greetings
2) A leverage of community – users post greetings, users provide caller id info, users tell us who the spammers are
3) One-click upgrade from existing voicemail – effortlessly get a better experience.
4) Making voicemail easy to share – one click posting to Facebook, for example, as well as easy IMing and texting.

Why could YouMail be BIG?
1b+ mobile voicemail boxes are out there, and it’s a horrific experience. We replace that with a dramatically better experience at no cost to consumers. We already have well over 1m users, and have handle roughly 500,000,000 calls. We also have 6 carriers that have made YouMail their voicemail, with 2 more signed and on the way.
How they plan to make money:
We make money on free users through advertising, and we have a number of premium offerings we’ve been able to upgrade people to.
Our thoughts:
No thoughts at the moment. Very interesting!

YouMail rocks my world! It’s kind of like Tivo…one of those things you didn’t know you couldn’t live without till you had it.
Love it!!! Used it for years in the states and now wish I could use it on my cell phone overseas.
