Keep in touch wherever you go with visual voicemail.

Visual voicemail on the iPhone displays the names of the callers you've missed. You can go straight to your most important missed call, rather than listening to the calls in the order received. Although the iPhone supplies a default voicemail message, you can easily create custom messages and change them out frequently to suit your mood.
