Vonage Visual Voice Mail

I've had Vonage for a while now. It's alright. I can't complain really. I use that phone number for all of least important callers and all of my important people just call my cell phone. In fact my Vonage phone isn't even plugged in right now because I just set up a different router cause that one was crap.

My voicemails are sent to my gmail inbox and then I can open then as an audio file and ignore them call back people like any responsible person would right? Well they have this feature that will transcribe your messages for you so you can read them instead of having to download a file to listen to it. I thought this was a fantastic idea because I often check my email on my phone and I can't listen to the messages that way.

I downloaded the service. The problem is that these are the messages I am getting in my email inbox:


"Hi. Good afternoon. This is Leo (??) headquarters. This is regarding a call Cheryl made to us again she's calling us today about some of the items that she had turn in to you. She said she got... she's still missing a quarter of it. So, I hope you could ask her to call Cheryl and explain to her if she could actually give those to her. To her, ask her about the date that's gonna ask you to giver her, give that to her. Hope you could actually give this customer a callback within 2 days or Monday for this issue. I hope you will be able to resolve this locally in your end. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day. Bye-bye."-Tupperware customer care

Seriously? What does that mean? I think that means they want me to give those to her to her to her.

"Hey you would come your ball,why you won't call me back,I know your sad,call me when your lonely,bye. " -my good friend Wendy

My dear sweet friend Wendy calls me and leaves dumb messages all the time and I do the same to her but even this was beyond our normal.

"Hi. Michelle Esparza. I just got us a mouse on my both attempt to a point I was downstairs to know where was that. If you could please call me at 774-XXXX or you can reach me at all times at 422-XXXX regarding their, who the of the life where we need to talk to you. Thank you very much. Bye-bye."

My name is not Michelle Esparza! Although I can see how you might confuse Esparza and Best. A mouse? You got us a mouse? We don't want a mouse! This was a lady calling about Relay For Life....I think!

"Hi, this is (Madlam?) from the Uptown Chronic in DPS. I'm calling because it's time for (corpulent anula?) exam. If you could call back, the number is 573-329-XXXX."

I have no words for this. None. It's supposed to say "Hi this is Madylyn from the optometry clinic at the PX. I'm calling because it's time for Korbins annual exam...."

"Hi, Mimi there Tupperware Customer here. I am the hint from Michelle Best. I am calling regarding her concern here in tupperware around the credit card charge. If you do receive this call and you have lessons to. Please do give us a callback here in Tupperware Costumer Care so that we could close this ticket. Okay? Thank you so much for being my call. You have a wonderful day, Michelle. Bye now."

She is the hint from me? I'm so glad I got to be her call for the day!


And to think I pay a quarter for this service! It's worth it for a good laugh!

I loathe LOATHE loathe LOATHE voicemail. I think this is because my mom calls and leaves me these uber long voicemails and then when i call her back she then proceeds to tell me everything she just said in the message. Makes me crazy. Thus i now just "delete" unless it's from an unfamiliar number.

LMAO. This is why I HATE the phone. Seriously, I use it to check emails but very rarely call anyone or let people call me.

I would love to head out your way for the Relay for Life but I'll be overseas with the kiddos. I'm taking them home to Australia to visit family before summer vacation ends.

FH. I have Vonage too but I got a machine so I don't have to listen to voice mail on the computer. The rare time the internet is down and I get a VM they are not weird like that.

Maybe the same guy who answers the customer service calls types out the voice mails. Try reading them with an Asian accent, maybe they will make more since.

That is TOO funny!

My brother (lives in Japan) has Vonage (with a local number, to his wife's parents) and he never told me about that cool feature, I may have to get it now.
