One of our big requests is that people want to use YouMail on their home phone.

We’re happy to report that we now support a collection of different home and VOIP services, including Time Warner Cable Digital Phone, Cox Digital Telephone, Vonage, Charter Digital Phone, Verizon Home Phone,  AT&T UVerse Voice, and AT&T Residential.

The overall process is simple:

  1. Get YouMail Business Edition
  2. Decide whether you want your home voicemail delivered to a single cell phone or to multiple user cell phones (like a husband and wife), and decide whether you want the same greeting for your home and cell.
    • If it’s a single user and you want the same greeting, just go to the existing YouMail account and add the new phone as an additional line.
    • If it’s going to be shared voicemail box, or you want a different greeting, create a new account for the home number, setup auto-forwarding to deliver each incoming voicemail to your various cell phones, and setup your home-specific greeting
  3. Follow the call forwarding instructions below (the number to forward to will be here on the YouMail web site).

Here are the forwarding instructions for the currently supported residential carriers.
