  1. Um, borrow a friend's cell phone, and record message with loud volume from your cell phone.. Send recording to your email.
    Duh.

  2. Virtually all smart phones have a voice recorder. I wanted to save a few voicemails, so I called my voicemail from another phone, using the speaker. In a quiet room, I placed the remote phone next to my smart phone's microphone and hit the record button, when playing back my messages. Can then easily transfer the file(s) if desired to any pc as well, via USB cable.

  3. this is the best information on how to save a voicemail message from a phone. My dad is ill and I did not want to lose a recent voicemail from him. Thank you for this awesome information.

  4. This is an actual weak "How To" for the free open source Audio Audacity app, on a PC. Not saying it isn't useful. Just clarifying what it actually is that you're reading

  5. I wish I'd known how to do t his before. Accidentally deleted 3 precious voicemails from my granddaughter who's now 8. I have one left. However, I couldn't find my cord so, I just saved it to MY Files and played it straight to Audacity. Worked great!

  6. Of all the junk information online, this has been the most helpful and straightforward for figuring out how to save current/existing voicemails. Thank you!

  7. Thank you. My mother was just a victim of Coronavirus and her message now means the world to me. Especially the one where she say "Wakey, Wakey, mommy says it is time to wake up" PRICELESS…. Thank You

  8. So if you use Lyrebird AI and ahead of time know when to play something, that is not someone else saying that although it looks like it but not to the spectator! How exactly a grand. Just pull a Micky and a Minne mouse on people.

  9. Not helpful at all. Sorry. Your generation seems lost in it's ability to think you understand, S I M P L E. Sadly, my generation taught you.

  10. Thank you! I have voice messages from my mother (who passed away in 2012)that I've been wanting to save.

  11. Thank you SO MUCH for this! A solution I desperately needed for my old 4s iPhone.

  12. PROBLEM: Is this supposed to work when connecting to the headphone jack port on a Samsung Convoy II flip phone to the mic port on my computer using a 3.5mm male to male cable? I downloaded Audacity and I tried connecting my computer speakers to my flip phone headphone port and it plays the voicemails just like in your video, but when I attempt to connect to the mic port on my computer with my 3.5mm male to male cable, I get nothing but a hum like the cable has a bad ground. I tried different cables but no change. I went to a local cell phone store that repairs phones and unlocks them and they said that using the headphone port on my flip phone will not work, only headphone ports on smart phones will work. This makes no sense since I can hear my voice mails though my PC speakers clearly. This doesn't seem like this should be rocket science. It should work. I use a USB headset while gaming on my computer with no problem, so I was considering buying a adapter to allow me to plug a 3.5 mm to the USB port. Any ideas?
