CenturyLink, formerly Embarq, is a telecommunications company that offers Internet and phone services for both residential and business purposes. One of the features that's included with CenturyLink phone service is voice mail. Voice mail is a lot like an answering machine, but with one crucial difference: Instead of messages being stored on a physical tape, they're stored in a digital database. If you have voice mail service with CenturyLink, you can check it easily.
