You know it can be a pain when someone you don’t know leaves a voicemail. He or she may sound polite only to turn into a totally different beast when you call them back. You can either do a manual research about the caller (using his/her phone number) or if you use YouMail to manage your voicemail – let them do all the hard work.
The new feature of Visual Voicemail Plus called Visual Caller ID promises to do just that, identifying callers with a name, a representative image and/or city/state information. On your behalf, YouMail will scatter through social networks, its own community, white and yellow pages to find out whether they can find out something about that number. If that doesn’t help, they’ll show you the location of the caller so you can get a better picture whether or not they’re worth calling back.
The new capability is available free of charge to YouMail’s Visual Voicemail Plus users and is available on a number of platforms, including Android, BlackBerry and iPhone.
