The Voice Mail Program provides free voice messaging for people without phones.
It operates just like the phone company answering system, and callers who leave messages cannot tell that you do not have an actual phone line. You retrieve your messages from any phone simply by dialing your number and entering a PIN number.
SCVM provides individuals with a personal 7 digit phone number to use to retrieve private and important messages from employers, landlords, case managers, health care providers, legal service providers, family and friends. Messages can be retrieved 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from any phone. SCVM helps people gain independence and maintain privacy.
Eligibility
You must:
- be phoneless
- have low- or no income
- be in need of phone service to find:
- a job
- housing
- social services
- medical services
- legal services
- or to have communication safe from domestic violence
