Well Happy Thanksgiving. The team here at GotVoice sends along our holiday wishes, as well as some ways to impress Aunt Betty and others with your GotVoice service while lounging around the living room.

1) Have the nieces and nephews call you and leave a voicemail. They’ll think it’s so cool that their voice automatically turns into a text.

2) Take your older relatives to a computer and show them you are keeping an mp3 archive of every voicemail they send you. This works especially well if you have young children. Tell the grandparents they can call 3 month old junior, and you’ll save the voicemail so he can listen when he’s older. Then watch them tear up.

3) Send everyone in your family a Happy Thanksgiving message. Do a quick Broadcast to the whole family, and watch the whole room check their Voicemail at once. Then watch them laugh as they marvel at the new technology you have discovered.

4) Finally, when you are doing receiving accolades for being the “cool uncle” tell everyone they may see their own subscription in their stocking this year. Thanksgiving accolades and Xmas presents people want all at once.

Have a great Thanksgiving. - GotVoice
