The service previously known as MobilePath, now known as FindMe FollowMe, is available free of charge.
With the introduction of the new voice mail system, an enhanced service is also available. It's called Unified Messaging, and here's what it can do for you.
What is UM, what does UM do and why would I want it?
Unified Messaging simplifies everyday communications by letting you manage all of your messages using a PC or a telephone. This means you spend less time retrieving and managing your messages and more time doing your job. When traveling, you can access and retrieve all types of messages via one or more interfaces (such as computer, phone, etc.) regardless of how they arrived -- whether by phone, fax or e-mail. With UM, you choose how you want to communicate. UM provides a means to receive faxes in your e-mail inbox 24 hours a day.
UM service allows you to:
- Gather all your messages from home, office and mobile phones into one mailbox by using a PC, telephone, PDA or Web browser.
- Listen to e-mail messages over the phone via text-to-speech conversion and reply instantly.
- Send and receive fax messages with a PC.
- Reply to e-mail messages by creating a voicemail message that the system attaches to an e-mail message.
- Reply in the "medium" of choice, allowing you to use the application and device which is most convenient for you.
- Work with compound messages, such as forwarding an e-mail or fax message with a voice introduction, or embedding voice messages into e-mails.
- Notify your cell phone or alternate extension of all message activity in your mailbox.
Unified Messaging will eventually do all this in response to your voice commands, as well as not key presses. This upgrade is planned for this summer and will cost only $1 extra.
