How can I save permanently save voicemails

Bingyberry — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 15:14:36 GMT

Hello there,

Can anyone recommend a way or an app that can record a precious voicemail so I can keep it?

My phone is a Samsung S20+ 5G.

Many thanks

Hi @Bingyberry

You should have a screen recorder option on your Samsung device. If you start the recording, it will make a video of the screen, including the sound.

Start the recording, play the voicemail on loudspeaker, then end the recording. It will then save the video in your gallery.

Alternatively, you could play the voicemail on your phone, and record it using a dictaphone/voice memo app on another phone.

Hope this helps.

Chris

This dose not work as the recording is paused during a call, any other suggestions please.

Hi @Ibsttar,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

Have you tried using another phone/tablet to record the voicemail as suggested by @Christopher_G?

The same problem. This is 2024. Surely you should have the option of simply saving the voicemail as a .wav or mp3 file (it must be in one of those formats anyway), rather than some crazy heath Robinson way of finding another device (no I don't have one ) and playing it out loud on one, hoping to manually record onto the other. Thanks for any assistance.

Agree with Anonymous. Can someone with some

authority at ee respond to customers wanting to save voicemail reliably?

I have a solution for you; I am an iPhone user but I anticipate you can replicate this very similarly on Samsung. Hope this serves you better than ee’s lacklustre response:
1. Request Visual Voicemail from ee (text ANDROID VISUAL to 150)

2. Once activated you’ll see a list of voicemails when you tap Phone and tap Voicemail, as you would navigate to ordinarily to listen to voicemails.
3. Tap on a voicemail you want to save; this ‘opens’ it onto a new screen.

4. On the right hand side there’s a share icon - tap that and you can select an app to save the voicemail to (I used Voice Memos on iPhone). You can also send it to another device, share it etc.

This is a problem of Samsung's making as their phones, and phones of other manufacturers do have the ability to record phone calls, either automatically or manually.

The issue here is that Samsung chose to disable this option on phones sold in certain regions. Many report success by changing their phone's CSC region and updating it. However, this is not without risk as it may break warranty or break other things on the phone, such as Samsung Wallet.

This failed for me at step 1. I text ANDROID VISUAL to 150 and just received a text back about unrelated stuff.

Hi @purplegerri.

Visual Voicemail for Android is not currently a service that is offered by EE.

Hi @Bino5,

Welcome to the Community!

I am so sorry to hear about your friend, and I can absolutely understand how keen you will be to preserve this. Android phones do not come with an option to save voicemails, but if you are able to use another phone then you can record this as a voicenote there.

You could route the phone via a device like a rodecaster pro sound deck and record it to pc. No way via the phone afaik.

I managed to save mine by playing on loudspeaker on my phone and recording it on my laptop. It worked a treat 💜 So sorry about your friend, hope you save the vm 💜

You can record calls on a Samsung Galaxy now, just press the button (left side to the 'call assistant' button, see photo) just before the message starts playing.
