What's a hullo?
hullos are short instant messages you can send to your friends and family, for free, no matter which version of the app you have. It’s like leaving someone a voicemail, but without the initial phone call.
The recipient doesn’t need to be a hullomail user, although it would be great if they were! You only need someone’s email address in order to send a hullo message.
Your mobile operator may charge you for sending hullos if you have exceeded your monthly data allowance, or if you are roaming.
What is Access Control?
Our Access Control feature detects and prevents phone hacking. Access Control is currently unequalled by mobile operators and other third party voicemail providers.
Access Control allows you to block all call-in access to your voicemails so that your messages can only be retrieved through the app or through your email.
Additionally, you may opt to receive a notification each time your messages are accessed, providing a complete audit trail and further peace of mind.
You can enable / disable Access Control settings from within the Hullomail app, select Menu -> Account -> Access Control
What is Copy to Email?
Copy to Email is a feature that lets you send copies of your voicemails to your chosen email address.

Android
Select a voicemail from the central message list and open it. Once in the message detail screen, press the menu button and select ‘Copy to my Email’.
What is Scribe and what do I get with it?
Scribe™ is the feature name for our transcription service. Scribe™ converts your voicemails to text so you can read them directly in the app, saving you time and effort when it comes to deciding whether or not you need to play your individual voicemails.
With a Hullomail LITE subscription Scribe™ will convert the first 30 seconds of the first 10 messages you receive in a month into text.
With a PRO subscription, Scribe™ will convert the first 180 seconds of all your message (subject to fair use) into text.
Please Note: Scribe™ is a fully automated transcription service with accuracy dependent on factors such as mobile audio & speech quality, and therefore we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy.
How can Hullomail minimise my roaming charges whilst abroad?
If you have voicemail with your mobile carrier and have travelled abroad, you will know how costly and difficult it can be to retrieve your messages while you’re away.
If your phone is turned ON whilst abroad and you receive a call that you are unable to answer, you are charged for the voicemail call as if it was a roaming call (with the exception of within the EU). You will then typically receive an SMS notification and upon receiving that, you are likely to call in and listen to the voicemail, which again is a roaming call.
You can minimise these charges by enabling ‘permanent call forwarding’ before you leave. This means whilst in your home country, your phone will not ring but will transfer straight to voicemail. This means if you turn your phone on whilst abroad, the call is still handled in your home country, thus not subject to roaming fees.
If, whilst away, you have access to a WiFi hotspot, you will still receive push notifications and have the ability to download and access your Hullomail voicemails and missed calls whilst using the WiFi hotspot. Alternatively, if you have Copy to Email enabled which is part of the Hullomail subscription, you can simply check your email at the hotel or internet cafe abroad to see your missed calls and voicemails.
If you enable ‘permanent call forwarding’ you are able to make phone calls whilst abroad and these will still be subject to roaming fees.
Please Note: It is also typically very expensive to have Mobile Data Roaming enabled on your handset whilst away, thus we advise this is also disabled prior to leaving.

I am not receiving voicemails
To check your voicemails are being forwarded to Hullomail.
Dial this number
*#62#
on your phone. You should see a series of messages. The first message you should see: Voice Call Forwarding When Reachable Forwards to <Your Mailbox Number> Enabled.If nothing shows, first try Activating Hullomail again see our How do I activate Hullomail? FAQ above.
If all fails, please contactus@thumbtel.com
Note, in general, PAYG deals and virtual operators e.g. Virgin, do not support call forwarding so Hullomail will not work
