If you answer, you will hear, Press 1 to take this call. ANY other action will send the caller to your new Vumber voicemail. Every Vumber has a separate voicemail box associated with its number. You can customize that voicemail any way you wish. When you receive a message, you can listen to it on your phone or view it and listen to it in your email.
