* As the top free visual voicemail app in the US, our robocall blocker will block a spam call or robo call faster than other apps to prevent that spam call or robocall.
* Every second a new spam number or robo call number starts up. Our call blocker updates multiple times per day to block a new robo call number the second it appears.
* Not just a robocall blocker! Block any non robocall phone number using a personal blocklist.
* A clean voicemail inbox. We either block the spam call or robo call or suspects are in your spam folder.

YOU’LL LOVE OUR PREMIUM PHONE FEATURES:
* Any spam call or robo call hears 'Number Disconnected' which gets you removed from spam caller lists.
* Other robo call blocker apps engage a spam call which might sound fun but keeps you on spam call lists and encourages more spam and robo calls!
* Need a second phone number or second line? How about several? Pick a vanity number or a local number from nearby area codes.
* Add an auto attendant, virtual receptionist or e-receptionist with menus so callers can press a key to connect their call to a partner, assistant or any other phone number.
* Add an after hours or weekend greeting on your main phone number or second number to our auto attendant or virtual receptionist.
* Automated TXT replies make missed callers to your main phone or second number feel less ignored and less likely to call a competitor.
* Automatically forward unread messages to a partner, spouse or any email so important phone calls aren't ignored.
* Host conference calls without a meeting ID or passcode - callers call your virtual conference number and they're in.
* Trusted by over 13 million users: "like Google Voice with better service or Grasshopper with a better app!"
YOUMAIL VALUES PRIVACY!
* Permissions requested only when needed (and no location permission needed).
* Please enable YouMail under Call Blocking extension to block calls. (iOS Settings > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification)
* Free visual voicemail, spam or call blocker personal use for 30+ days will be supported by ads served by Google and Amazon.
COMPATIBILITY:
* Compatible with postpaid plans to upgrade AT&T voicemail, Sprint voicemail, T-Mobile voicemail, Verizon voicemail, StraightTalk voicemail and others.
* Some prepaid plans, Boost Mobile, MetroPCS, Google Fi and Consumer Cellular don't widely support conditional call forwarding which prevents customers from using YouMail.
ACTIVATION:
* Activation dials carrier specific codes to forward a missed call to YouMail so we can block robo calls, block spam and provide visual voicemail.
* BEFORE DELETING, Deactivate and Return to Carrier from Settings, otherwise calls still go to YouMail even without the app installed! For more help, visit http://go.youmail.com/deactivate

What's new on new update
Version 3.2.54
Hello, I know that the Youmail app was recently updated to version 3.2.54. Has anyone tested this for VoiceOver accessibility? Judging by past comments, it sounds as though the app should be accessible; however, I just want to confirm this before downloading and getting started with it.
Update
The app is mostly accessible. If you upgrade to the professional plan and edit the auto-attendant menu, the links are not labeled. They listen to your feedback. The best way to reach them is by emailing them at support@youmail.com or calling them at 800-374-0013.
Question for user Melissa Roe
Hi Melissa, You have a podcast on this app? Would you post a link. Could not find it on Applevis. Thanks so much!
Firewall
There is a nice and accessible app that prevents calls that you do not want. $4.00.
This app.
Is this app primarily if your iPhone is a business phone? Will it be beneficial to a personal cell phone user? Thanks.

Our app will definitely be useful to the everyday personal cell phone user. Our free app is geared toward users who just use their phones for everyday use and not necessarily business.

There are many paid features for business users, so if you'd like to learn more about those, let us know and we'd be happy to answer any questions!

Great update
Hello,
Just wanted to update people on the status of this app. A couple of weeks ago I contacted support because I found I could not swipe in the folders that contain messages, at least not with VoiceOver.
The update from yesturday fixes this, and I can now find the message i want to move or delete, and flick up or down to find the action I want to do.
There is still a bit of a problem when selecting more than one message though. After tapping the edit button, and selecting messages, VoiceOver will not report which messages are selected, and which are not. For example, saying selected on the messages that are highlighted, and reading the other ones as normal. This would help when trying to handle more than one message.
They did a great job on this update, and I hope they keep it up.
Someone asked if this would be useful as an every day user, and I think it is. The robo call blocking is great for a start, and it has really cut down on the number of robo calls I get over the past few months I've started using it. I don't know if its the tones they play before the out of service message starts to play, but I don't get nearly as many spam calls as I used to.
I am also hard of hearing, and sometimes listening to a voice message as more than I can handle at the end of a day. Reading what a message says in braille or listening to it word by word with speech is much, much, much easier than trying to listen to a message over and over again, to gather what it has to say, sometimes playing with the volume buttons all the while.
iOS has the ability to transcribe messages as well, but i find YouMail dues a much better job at this, not using the underlines scattered throughout the message, and putting periods or camas using the gaps in the message's wording makes for a much better reading experience.
Thanks again for a great app, and a great update!

Works now
Hi, thank you for being so quick to reply to these comments.
I don't know what happened, but when I started the app today, selecting messages works as expected.
My phone was acting up earlier that day, and I restarted it, and everything works good now.
Great To Hear
Our pleasure, Jesus! We're glad to hear that it's working now. If you ever experience any other bugs, feel free to let us know here or at support.youmail.com or on Twitter (@youmailsupport).

Youmail
Hi I just tried setting up an account and the app crashes when I try to put any information into the text fields. Also, I try typing with voiceover on and it doesn't put in what I type, it just makes noises. I had an account several years ago but I changed email addresses since then.
Unread messages no longer have VoiceOver label for Unread status
While this was fixed about two years ago now, this bug has cropped up again. All messages just read out VoiceMila from , sender's name/number, and date and time information.
Messages that have not been read/heard yet are no longer marked as such in text/VoiceOver label.
I have tried emailing support, but have yet to get back to it with debug logs and possibly a Video/screenshare.
Tried Signing Up
I tried to sign up because I had heard it's a great alternative to the native visual voicemail feature of the phone app for IOS but it won't let me enter my 10-digit phone number, so I've hit a roadblock.
