YOUMAIL VS. USCELLULAR
Why YouMail is better than UScellular
Voicemail
You no longer have to worry about forgetting your phone and losing access to your messages. Unlike UScellular, YouMail allows you to simply check your voicemail messages from any computer. UScellular offers plans starting at 29.99/line per month, all without free visual voicemail or personalized spam call blocking. YouMail’s free version also allows you to record your own custom voicemail greeting or download one from the YouMail community to automatically greet contacts with their first name. YouMail can protect you from all callers with hidden caller ID info, or specific callers if you’d like.
Spam call blocking
UScellular offers spam call blocking with its Call Guardian app. Call Guardian has a free version with limited features (block high risk calls, personal spam list, and business Caller ID) in addition to a premium plan at $3.99/month. YouMail offers free spam and scam call blocking to protect you from fraudsters in addition to other great features as well.
