What Is The Cell Phone Voice Notes Feature?

The answer is a very useful little cellular feature indeed! Also sometimes known as voice memo, the cell phone voice notes tool allows us to use our mobile phone to store short vocal messages or reminders.

You can speak into your handset - maybe a stylish clamshell type - record a cell phone voice note. And then can play it back any time you want. For when you need to remember what it was that you wanted to remember!

In addition to this; many phones who support voice notes allow the user to record sections of (or entire) phone calls whilst they are happening. So you can listen to a lover’s whispered yearnings again and again. Or make sure that auto-repair guy can’t deny saying your car would be ready for Monday!

There are some important differences in how some cellular handsets which have this feature deal with its management. So you should see which case below applies to your phone:

In the best case; limitations allowed for voice notes will be in total length time only. This is more flexible. And so here, one really long voice recording would be okay. And a whole load of really short ones would be okay too.
Some phones have fixed rules though. This involves a given number of voice recordings of a maximum length each. So, no long memos would be allowed.
Other phones limit the number of notes, rather than the time of each. So in this case, you would be prevented from having lots and lots of small ones.

Using voice notes or voice-memo should not be confused with voice mail. The latter is a cellular answering service where voice messages are stored from your callers in a personal message center.
