You keep hundreds of messages in your mailbox???
You would think so right!
I mean anyone in the voicemail business is expected to have this baisc feature just like any car is expected to have steering wheel.
Can you believe that they don't have a LIFO/FIFO option!
They only have FIFO(first in, first out), this means(I'm not kidding), if you just got a message 2 minutes ago that you want to review.
You must first start to listen to messages you got back in 2003 and individually skip them 1-by-1 just to get to the message you got 2 minutes ago.
This is by far the worst design voicemail system I’ve ever seen.
The people at absolutely Aleen refuse to fix this.
I guess because most people expect this feature to already exist in all voicemail systems, they don't find out about this until its too late. I read that Aleen has their corporate office in the middle East so I'm not sure what type of logical people they have working system.
However, please take the advice from someone who bought an Aleen and stay far away from these guys!
