How To: Send a Voicemail in a Tweet

02/04/2010 - 5:00 am By Diana Adams

A few weeks ago I received a tweet from the username @pocketsapp. The avatar was bright purple, so there was no way I could miss it. In the body of the tweet, it said, “you have voicemail from @ShellyKramer waiting to be heard at http://pocketsapp.com/voicemails.”

I clicked on the link and sure enough, there was a voicemail from Shelly Kramer. This was made possible by a cute little app found on http://www.pocketsapp.com. Instead of entering the phone number to leave someone a voicemail, with this app, you enter the Twitter username.

Tonight, as we were testing this process, @mmangen, who made the video below, also sent me a voicemail in a tweet. There is something really special about being able to hear the voice of a Twitter friend, and with pocketsapp, now that is super easy to do. Check out this tutorial and try it for yourself. Send someone special a voicemail tweet!

Thank you to http://www.flickr.com/photos/schemacoma for the great picture above.

I think that is when you know you’ve tapped into a true passion. Whatever that thing may be, if you could do it all day or night long, lose track of time, ‘wake up’ ten hours later, and still thirst for more, that is a passion, and I feel like I’ve found that in my writing.” Diana also spends many hours each week assisting the homeless men and women in Atlanta.

“Diana also spends many hours each week assisting the homeless men and women in Atlanta.”

That says a lot about what kind of person you are, Diana.

I’m deeply thankful to be getting to know you though your Bit Rebel posts and Twitter tweet ups.

I sent a bunch of these out months ago and hardly anyone listened to them! People were probably afraid to click on the link. So glad you did this post, so perhaps this very cool app will get the use it deserves!

Love it, D. @nongling introduced me to this app and it is very cool – and I’m with you – hearing my Twitmigos’ voices “live” is something I love. Thanks for the reminder about this great app. So many apps, so little time …… :)
