What it is
YouMail combines call protection, privacy tools, and visual voicemail for Android, iOS, and the web. It is intended to block robocalls and scammers and help keep a phone number private. Visual voicemail transcribes messages to text and is accessible on mobile and desktop. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 50 cloud messages, 100 voicemail-to-text transcriptions per month, and unlimited known-spammer blocking. Paid personal plans include unlimited call screening; the Free plan does not list that feature. For business use, Complete and Ultimate list virtual numbers and tools such as auto attendant, extensions, conference call recording, and business messaging. YouMail also lists voicemail notifications or transfers to Slack, Asana, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Trello. The company says it encrypts data at rest and in transit and describes vulnerability scans, code reviews, and third-party security audits and penetration tests in its development process. It works with major carriers including AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Ting, and Mint.
