    摘要: A mobile phone configured to operate in a normal notification mode and an emergency notification mode. The mobile phone includes a memory adapted to maintain profiles relating to user contacts, an output device operable to emit audible notifications responsive to incoming communications, at least one input device operable to receive a user selection of a silent notification mode of the device and a user selection of a silent mode disabled setting associated with the profiles and a processor coupled to the memory, the output device and the at least one input device. When the device is in the silent notification mode, audible notifications are not emitted from the output device responsive to incoming communications from the user contacts having profiles without the silent mode disabled and audible notifications are emitted from the output device responsive to incoming communications from the user contacts having profiles with the silent mode disabled.

    摘要: Systems and methods for sending a voice clip as a short message service (SMS) message in place of a voicemail providing include a provider device including an options screen, a cell site, and message management circuitry communicatively coupled to the cell site and a contact center. The provider device is structured to call a receiving device. If the provider device fails to receive an answer, the user of the provider device is presented with multiple options: leave a video recording in a text message, leave the voice clip in a text message, transcribe voice clip to text message, or leave a voicemail. The user of the provider device then selects one of the multiple options on the provider device. The provider device then transitions from a dialer to a message application and delivers the message to the receiving device.
