voicemail system
Telephone answering service
A voicemail system is the technology that records and stores voice messages when phone calls go unanswered.
The term covers both the infrastructure—servers, software, access numbers—and the service itself: The company upgraded its voicemail system last month.
Most people encounter voicemail systems through prompts to leave a message or instructions to press buttons for options.
