Personal Voice Mail Services

In a sense, Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange/Windows Messaging can treat voice mail as just another form of e-mail, delivering messages to the Inbox. Unless otherwise noted, these add-ins do not work with Outlook 98 or Outlook 2000 in Internet Mail Only mode.

Whether or not you can receive voice mail directly on your PC is largely a factor of the type of modem you have. In general, you need a modem that supports the full Unimodem V standard. Many such modems come with their own standalone voice mail program that doesn't integrate with Outlook.

For services which integrate with Exchange servicer or provide voice mail for small businesses and enterprises, see Enterprise Voice Mail Services
