The biggest problem with Ringless Voicemail isn’t price. And I like a deal as well as the next guy. But if you spend hours trying to get the thing to work, any price concessions don't mean diddly. It's not breakdowns. Because you only get charged for certified deliveries, and everything else is free. And ringless doesn’t upset people like voicebroadcasting - So if you try to get through to somebody and don’t, they’ll never even know. Not a problem.
It seems Ringless Voicemail can’t make it to court. No matter how hard it tries. Millions of calls. Can’t even get a citation. No vexatious litigator will touch it. No consumer will file papers, no class action. No judge has even let Direct-to-Voicemail near their chamber doors. Yet some companies still aren't using it. Retailers like Walmart and financial institutions like Wells Fargo are setting new court fine records every day with their own calling techniques. Debt collectors have been taken to the cleaners over outrageous moral behavioral breakdowns. Threatening, cajoling, ruining people's lives. All with well known “sure to land you in court and lose” contact methods.
One in five U.S. adults—an estimated 51 million people—will be contacted about medical bills by a collection agency in 2014, according to a study by NerdWallet Health and reported on by Collections&Credit Risk. Americans pay three times more in medical debt to collection agencies than they pay for credit card and bank debt combined, the study found.
Direct-to-Voicemail (or Ringless Voicemail) cell messaging allows you to send a voicemail message directly to a wireless phone voicemail server – without ringing the phone or interrupting the recipient, and without charging the recipient. The cell owner retrieves their voicemail as they normally would. The program creates lots of callbacks from consumers for your call center associates. Direct-To-Voicemail has been around about three years now, with over 10 million certified deliveries.
If you’re a debt collector struggling with reaching out to cell phones, a financial institution wondering how to reach folks about their credit card debt, a medical collector, or student loan servicer, you know how problematic it can be to safely call cell phones. Ringless Voicemail allows you to directly deliver a message to a cell voicemail platform without charging or interrupting the wireless owner. In fact, it never touches the wireless network at all!
As you may know, the Healthcare Financial Management Association and ACA International have released new medical collection guidelines to their members. This has spurred a myriad of credit bureaus, consumer protection agencies, healthcare organizations and others to try to cooperate with each other, build relationships and protect their bottom lines. Their ultimate goal, of course, is to contact consumers with medical debt without causing problems with HIPAA, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) or the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
Terrified to call cell phones? You’re not alone. Lots of companies have just stopped altogether. Scared to death of going out of business from fines. And rightfully so. But now there’s a way to safely voice broadcast. Most companies don’t know about it. That’s a good thing. Because if everyone used it, it might not be so wildly productive. It's called Ringless Voicemail.
