Check with your carrier or support@answer-cloud.com beforehand if you are in doubt. For work numbers, check with your administrator. Detailed forwarding instructions are provided when you sign up in the app. ● Once an unanswered call is forwarded to Answer Cloud, your phone carrier may charge minutes for the forwarded call to Answer Cloud. (Some carriers may also impose an additional charge per forwarded call.) Check with your carrier for details. ● Transcriptions are provided for voicemails in English. Transcription quality depends on many factors and may vary. In some cases, Answer Cloud may not be able to transcribe a message. MONTHLY PLANS First month is always free.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nomorobo Max Spam Call Blocker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nomorobo Max Spam Call Blocker has 5.3K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Answer Cloud Visual Voicemail's written reviews are positive against 41% of Nomorobo Max Spam Call Blocker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Answer Cloud Visual Voicemail ships an update every 6 weeks, Nomorobo Max Spam Call Blocker fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
