Listening to Voicemail in Skype
Skype voicemail is a free feature of Skype that prevents you from missing calls when you are not signed in to Skype. Incoming callers can leave you a voice message that you can check later. Skype has an option to send you an email when you receive a voicemail, so you can be notified of a voicemail on your phone or wherever you access your email.
