FAQ: How Vumber Works

How does Vumber work?

You select a new phone number in the area code of your choice. You associate that number with your phone. (We don’t care which!). To make a call, simply dial your Vumber. At the prompt, dial the number of the person that you wish to call. That’s it! To receive a call, answer the phone normally. If you hear a prompt, press 1 to answer the call. That’s it!

 

What happens if I don't answer a call to my Vumber?

Don’t worry – the call never goes through to your personal voicemail. Each Vumber comes with it’s own Voicemail box. You can retrieve your voicemails through your phone or we can even email voicemails to your email address.

 

Can anyone call me using my Vumber?

Anyone can call you on your Vumber provided that they know your Vumber. You may also choose to customize the call treatment that each caller receives.

 

What happens if I do not answer the phone? Can the caller leave a message?

When you receive a call to your Vumber, your phone will ring and you answer normally. If you choose not to answer, the call will be routed to your special Vumber voicemail. If you answer, you will hear, “Press 1 to take this call.” ANY other action will send the caller to your new Vumber voicemail. Every Vumber has a separate voicemail box associated with its number. You can customize that voicemail any way you wish. When you receive a message, you can listen to it on your phone or view it and listen to it in your email.
