Voicemail (or voice mail; abbreviated v-mail or vmail) is a specific application of an interactive voice response system. In its simplest form it mimics the functions of an answering machine, but uses a centralised system rather than equipment at the individual telephone. However it can be far more sophisticated, with the ability to forward messages to another voice mailbox and send simultaneous messages to multiple voice mailboxes, add voice notes to a message, store messages for future delivery, make calls to a telephone or paging service when a message is received, transfer callers to another phone for personal assistance and play different message greetings to different callers.
Many voicemail systems also offer an automated attendant facility, allowing callers answered by the system to dial a selected person's mail box or telephone.
Voicemail systems are found associated with many office telephone systems or (PBX). They may also be associated with public telephone lines as network services. Mobile phones generally have voicemail as a standard network feature.

Voicemail (or voicemail, vmail or VMS, sometimes called messagebank) is a centralized system of managing telephone messages for a large group of people.
Voicemail's introduction enabled people to leave lengthy, secure and detailed messages in natural voice, working hand-in-hand with corporate phone systems.
Voice messages could be sent using email or telephone addressing schemes, and the data networking infrastructure was used to send messages between locations rather than the public switched telephone network.
When voicemail identification on a telephone changes, the Human Resources liaison should send e-mail to access@udel.edu and include the former employee name, new employee name and phone number.
Voicemail will call you on the programmed date and time to announce that it has a message for you and play the message you have previously recorded.
Voicemail can call a person living within the local dialing area, not long distance from the University, and tell him/her that they have a new voicemail message.
