Abstract
A system and associated method is provided for capturing outgoing voice messages on a mobile communications device equipped with a display and a memory device. In accordance with the system, a software program is installed in the memory device which causes a graphical user interface (GUI) to be displayed on the display thereof. The GUI enables the user to make a telephone call to a second party through appropriate input. The software program monitors the call and, when it is determined that the user is leaving a voice message on a recording device associated with the second party, the voice message is recorded on the mobile communications device.

A method for capturing outgoing voice messages, comprising:
- displaying, on a mobile communications device equipped with a display and a memory device, a graphical user interface (GUI) which enables the user to make a telephone call;
- in response to input on the GUI by the user identifying a second party to call, placing a call to the second party;
- determining that the user is leaving a voice message on a recording device associated with the second party;
- and
- recording the voice message on the mobile communications device.
A mobile communications device equipped with a display and a tangible, non-transitory memory device having suitable programming instructions recorded therein which, when executed by at least one computer processor, perform the steps of:
- displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) on the display which enables the user to make a telephone call;
- in response to input by the user on the GUI identifying a second party to call, calling the second party;
- determining that the user is leaving a voice message on a recording device associated with the second party;
- and
- recording the voice message on the mobile communications device.
A non-transitory, computer-readable storage media encoded with a computer program including instructions executable by a processor to create a voicemail management application configured to execute whenever a calling user utilizes phone calling features of the digital processing device to place a phone call to a receiving user, the application comprising:
- d. a software module configured to detect a tone generated by a voicemail system of the receiving user, the call placed by the calling user;
- e. a software module configured to record a voicemail left by the calling user in the voicemail system of the receiving user;
