personal voice messages; to select and deliver voice information; and to
process transactions relating to individuals, organizations, products and

introduction of the first US-wide Voicemail service in 1980.

VOICEMAIL

16. Voicemail systems are designed to convey a caller's recorded audio message to a
recipient. To do so they contain a user interface to select, play, and manage messages;
a delivery method to either play or otherwise deliver the message; and a notification
ability to inform the user of a waiting message.
Simple voicemail systems function as a remote answering machine using touch-
tones as the user interface. More complicated systems may use other input devices
such as voice or a computer interface. Simpler voice-mail systems may play the audio
message through the phone, while more advanced systems may have alternative
delivery methods, including email or text message delivery, message transfer and
forwarding options, and multiple mailboxes.
