Answering machine / Voicemail

[Petey]

Short description: A voicemail system that lets you to leave a message when the player's offline.

Detailed description: An answering machine / Voicemail system that lets you customize your voicemail message and callers should be able to leave a message when the recipient is either offline or their phone is turned off or they don't pick up. Players should be able to customize their voicemail message by a simple command or inside their phone. Once the offline players logs in and opens their phone, there should be a message in the chat showing the message left by the caller. If they don't pickup but their phone is still open, a notification on the bottom left side, like message notifications should be shown.

Commands to add: /vm or /voicemail 

Items to add: None

How would your suggestion improve the server? I believe a voicemail system would make things more realistic and encourage roleplay.

Additional information: None

Feel free to drop any suggestions regarding this topic but just keep it civil ?

The /voicemail option already exists and shows up when you call a phone that isn't on or doesn't pick up.. but it doesn't work. it never alerts the person about your voicemail.

Yeah it doesn't work though. Hoping that it would get fixed.

While the suggestion is great, and I agree-- think the main problem is just the voicemail system doesn't directly work in-game. It's been in-game for a while, but it's rare you actually get the option to leave a voicemail, and if you do? No one is ever gonna get the message over time. 

Think additionally to this - would be nice to see instead of the phone staying up when a call didn't go through, as you stated, a notification that says "Missed Call" and then a "Voicemail" notification. 

Something like "You have missed a call" and then "You have received a new voicemail message"

Agreed.
