Okay, I had forgotten all about this feature making its way here and I'm on board for it.
Nothing worse than missing a phone call and getting an actual voicemail. Like I have to go in to my provider, put in my password, wait for the prompt to hit 1 to listen, start to listen, then hit 7 to delete. I get a transcript / audio of the message already from Bell, so why do I have to go in so I can get rid of it and the persistent notification of a voicemail...
This new feature for Pixel Phone app lets you forego the carrier voicemail option by having your phone take the message for you. So it saves it on your phone. (Now, if your phone is turned off or not accessing signal the call can just still go through your carrier voicemail)
With the new update you can set up your own recording that will greet your callers and then you'll get the recording for it.
Very cool. Even better, the info it gets it could feed into the Magic Cue data sets (so it can remind you later about plans or locations etc...)
Right now you can make up to 3 recordings, but only one is what will be used. It'd be cool if eventually you could assign a different message to different contacts (or known be unknown numbers).
What do you think? Would you use this over your carrier? You can just turn it off if you don't want it, just go into the phone app settings and look for Take A Message setting and turn it off.
