Community Voice Mail


Community Voice Mail ProgramThe Raleigh/Wake Community Voice Mail Program provides FREE voicemail service to people without phones seeking jobs, housing, healthcare or safety.

Why?
Access to communication is vital to reclaiming stability, yet is often overlooked as a means to help people in need.
 
Community Voice Mail ProgramHow Does It Work?
Community Voice Mail (CVM) provides people in need with a personal, 7-digit phone number. CVM sounds just like an answering machine, allowing users to leave a personal and professional greeting for callers. A CVM phone number looks like any other number and does not signal the user's status. Retrieving messages is easy. Simply dial the 7-digit number from any touch-tone phone and enter a short PIN number. Users can then hear messages 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Raleigh/Wake Community Voice Mail program is part of the CVM national network of sites, empowering people in crisis and transition by distributing free 24-hour voice mail nationwide – directly linking individuals to jobs, housing, safety and stability.
