Is there a Limit on how many Voicemail Message I can store?

Yes. All of our customers are able to have 99 voicemail messages saved at one time. We will notify you via SMS when your mailbox reaches 75 messages and again at 99 messages.

Once you reach 99 messages, people calling you will receive an automated message that the mailbox is full, and they will be unable to leave a voicemail until you delete some of your saved messages.

How long can I Keep my Voicemail Messages?

At Truphone, voicemail messages will be deleted from mailboxes after 30 days. These messages will be kept for 90 days in a backup folder and will be removed after that period.

If you want to save your voicemail messages, follow the below steps:

iOS

1. From the Home screen, tap the Phone app
2. Tap the Voicemail icon
3. Tap the desired voicemail message then tap the Share icon
4. Choose Add to Notes or Save to Files then save the voicemail

Android

Depending on the device Android version, the Visual Voicemail app may not be present. So, if the user wants to save a voicemail, the device must be ready to do so. An option for older devices is that the user installs a visual voicemail app.
