AT&T Makes it Easy for You to Keep Up with Voice Mail Messages

How much do you hate checking your phone messages? Personally, it ranks right up there with cleaning the toilet. I don't like listening someone drone on for several minutes before getting to the point and telling me why they are calling and how I can call them back. Now, I can skip right through the other stuff and get the information I need thanks to AT&T home phone service.

Here is what is neat to me about the voice mail service; you can check your voice mails in Windows Media Player just by logging into your AT&T account. You may be asking, what is so much better about that than calling my phone from wherever I am and checking my message? Here is a few situations where this could make a difference to you

#1: You are trying to check an vital message and the caller goes in-detail about the cause for their call and then flies through the phone number to call back. You normally have to re-start the entire message or try to use a preposterous fast forward or rewind option on your phone. Since this is in a WMP file, all you have to do is place your cursor back to the same point and listen again...or slow it down!

#2: You get a message meant your son and don't want to listen to the entire thing, but want them to get the message. Just save the WMP file to your computer and email it to them. It's over! No more sticky notes or dry-erase boards, you are absolutely in the tech age!

It should be noted that with the great service you get from AT&T that this is still a VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) service and that means something when it comes to your home's alarm system. Some alarm companies need to update their servers when you switch to this service and you need to let them know. It is a good idea to call your alarm company anytime you switch home phone providers to make sure that your home is still being monitored.

In the end, just remember, the good folks at AT&T have been in the business of telephones for ages and ages. There is nothing that they haven't seen or created or been prepared for. They are on the cutting edge of new technology and you owe it to yourself to check them out!
