I'm sure you've heard the phrase "time is money." Whether this is true, time is certainly valuable to you. With hectic full-time workdays, traffic, meetings, business obligations and personal time, you may find your days filling up fast. In the midst of all the chaos, you may have missed some important phone calls.
Answering machines are outdated. Unless you're hanging on to one for nostalgia purposes, you likely use voice mail to record missed calls made to your personal or business phone. Most come installed with the service. But sometimes you may forget to check it, or you may find it complicated to do so, as many services require PIN numbers. The good news is that you can check your voice mail on the Internet, at your leisure.
