How do I save a voicemail message? Or their voicemail greeting? My husband died recently and I want to save the sound of his voice. Sadly this is the only recording I have of him.

First of all I am sorry for your loss.One way would be to record your voicemail onto some type of media by using the headphone plug on your phone. There are adapters you can use to connect in this manner to your computer microphone input for example. An e...

This is a free service that Verizon should have implemented many years ago. Verizon customers need to have the ability to save critical voicemails as files (.WAV, .FLAC, etc.) for archival purposes on their computers. It is important that all Verizon family members have the option of archiving historical messages relating to birthdays, graduations, birth and death announcements, as well as all other messages that record significant life events. When will this service be implemented?

Thanks for the suggestion, samiam651. Audacity works great.And there is no need to connect your phone to a PC to record a voicemail, as suggested in other forum entries.Instead, go to the Google Play store on your Android smart phone and download and install the free Automatic Call Recorder app.Once Automatic Call Recorder is installed, open the app and use Settings to configure it to save records with File type of wav.Dial *86 on the phone to call voicemail, log in, and listen to the voicemail you want to save. If you press 5 when the voicemail first starts to play, you will record the date and time the message was left and the telephone number from which the voicemail was left. After listening to the entire voicemail, use ** to exit from voicemail and hang up.Go to the Automatic Call Recorder app and save the call just recorded in a .wav file on your Android phone.Next, you need to get the .wav file from your Android smart phone to your PC. There are a variety of ways to do that.Once the file is on your PC, open it with Audacity and select the section of the call you want to save. Then use File > Export Selected Audio... to save the selected section of the call as an .MP3 file. When attempting to save an MP3 file for the first time, you will likely be prompted to download and install the LAME MP3 encoder.After recording all the voicemails you want to save, if you no longer want Automatic Call Recorder to record your calls, open the app and use Settings to turn automatic recording off.

One question re Voice Forever... We have the flip Motorola connected to Garage Band on the new Mac as suggested by Verizon last spring. The messages are clear to hear firsthand, but have static when transferred. Any suggestions to avoid the static? Will the MP3 be a better solution? My husband is a geek from the get go and won't spend 20.00 because he is certain he will ultimately figure something out. I would like to save any more hair from turning gray. Cynthia

With Verizon's stock voicemail, the answer is no this is not possible. There are free services, such as Google Voice which will allow you to do so.
