Basking Ridge, N. J. – Verizon Wireless has just introduced a new application to run on subscriber mobile phones.

It is a new application that lets users to manage their voice mail on their phones. Available today on the Voyager by LG, Visual Voice Mail provides an easy-to-use display screen with one-touch access to listen to voice mail messages.

Customers can also delete, reply and forward their voice mail messages without having to listen to prior messages or voice instructions. It allows mobile users to see a list of all of their voice mail messages with important information, such as date and time of receipt, as well as message duration, in order to prioritize and efficiently manage their voice mail messages directly from their phones.

When a caller leaves a new voice mail message, the Visual Voice Mail application pops up, alerting the user that a new voice mail message has been received. From the phone display, users can select from a number of options, including call back, reply, forward, add to contacts, and archive message (to internal or external memory).

Mobile users will be able to store up to 40 messages for 40 days – double the storage capacity and nearly double the retention time of Basic Voice Mail. In addition, customers can create up to 10 greetings, as well as up to 20 distribution lists and 50 distribution members to receive messages.

Visual Voice Mail is available for $2.99 monthly access, per line, plus airtime or megabyte charges and messaging fees, depending on a user’s plan.
