voice mail
     
         any system for sending, storing and
        retrieving audio messages, like a telephone answering
        machine.
     
        a voice mailbox is typically associated with a telephone
        number or extension.  when the number is called and the line
        is busy or not answered, the caller hears a message left by
        the owner and is given instructions for leaving a message or
        other available options, such as paging the individual or
        being transferred to an operator.  the owner of a mailbox can
        change the outgoing message or listen to incoming messages
        after entering a pin.  members of a voice mail system can
        generally forward or broadcast messages to other members'
        boxes.
     
        the experience of two people trying to reach other by
        telephone but always reaching each other's voice mail is
        referred to as "telephone tag".
