Voicemail to text is a feature that converts a voicemail message into human-readable text and delivers it as an SMS text message.
An intelligent business phone system uses natural language processing and machine learning to provide instant voicemail transcription. These tools transcribe voice messages with stunning accuracy.
Nextiva’s cloud phone system can deliver work-related voicemails to your smartphone as a text message.
There are many advantages to getting voicemail text messages. Businesses use this voicemail service to:
Reply quickly. Respond with your mobile phone when you're stuck in a meeting.
Save time. Read voicemails from the simplicity of text messaging.
Be informed. Never miss important voice messages, even if you lose Wi-Fi.
Share messages. Forward voicemail messages to colleagues for quick answers.

With a voicemail transcription service, you can get business-related voicemail sent to your cell phone.
The voicemail to text feature differs from visual voicemail since the transcriptions are delivered as a text message in the text messaging app. The message is sent from your office phone system (PBX).
You may want to add the sender's phone number to your address book so you know it's coming from work.
This useful feature works perfectly on any iPhone or Android device with cellular service.
For your cell phone, you probably don’t need a voicemail to text service. Most people want to keep their work number separate from their personal phone number. Voicemail to text lets you keep them separate.
You might want to be notified about a time-sensitive matter. Reading the voicemail transcription is much faster than dialing into your phone system. See at-a-glance if you need to listen to the message, call them back, or forward to a friend.
It is an excellent feature for businesses that need employees to get voicemails sent to their phone.
Most phone companies offer voicemail transcription as a premium add-on for around $3 per month per phone. Some VoIP providers don’t offer the functionality at all, while others charge a premium.
Nextiva includes this voicemail to text feature with its business phone plans. In addition, you get a full-featured voicemail system, call forwarding, and a nifty VoIP phone app.
If your phone can receive SMS text messages, you can receive voicemail to text transcriptions. In the event of limited coverage, you will receive text messages the moment your phone reconnects with the carrier.
In many cases, if you lose 4G LTE data coverage, you still have texting capabilities. Don't forget to download Nextiva's mobile app so you can manage your voicemail inbox easily.
