A method, utilizing at least one hardware computing device, for managing voicemails comprising:
- (A) receiving, by a first device associated with a first party, an input entered by the first party to initiate a communication to second device associated with a second party, wherein a party comprises one or more users;
- (B) formatting, by the first device, the received input into a standardized format;
- (C) translating, by the first device, the formatted input in the standardized format into a predetermined communication format, wherein the standardized format is distinct and different from the predetermined communication format;
- (D) mapping, by at least the first device, the translated input in the predetermined communication format to a unique destination identifier associated with the second party;
- (E) determining, by the at least first device, whether the mapping is successful;
- (E1) in response to a successful mapping, determining whether the first party is in a block list associated with the second party, if so, notifying the first party and terminating the communication;
- (E2) in response to an unsuccessful mapping, notifying the first party to review and correct the input entered;
- (E2i) in response to determining that the first party has made at least a change to the input entered within a predetermined threshold of input time, repeat steps (A) to (E);
- (E2ii) in response to determining that the first party has not made any change to the input entered within the predetermined threshold of input time, notifying the first party and terminating the communication;
- (F) in response to the successful mapping and determining that the first party is not in the block list associated with the second party, allowing, by the first device, the communication to the second device;
- (G) transmitting, by a communication server located remotely from the first party of the first device and the second party of the second device, a notifying signal associated with the communication through at least one communication network associated with at least one service provider;
- (H) receiving, by the second device, the notifying signal via the at least one communication network;
- (I) notifying, by the second device, the second party of the received notifying signal with a predetermined number of notifications;
- (J) while the predetermined number of notifications is less than a first threshold set by the second party of the second device, determining whether a voicemail recorder exists and runnable on the second device;
- (K) in response to determining that the voicemail recorder exists and runnable on the second device, determining whether the first threshold is less than a second threshold associated with a voicemail server associated with the at least one service provider;
- (K1) in response to determining that the first threshold is less than the second threshold:
- activate the voicemail recorder to intercept the communication on behalf of the second party when the notifying signal is not a distressed signal, and recording and storing, by the voicemail recorder, the intercepted communication in a local storage of the second device;
- and
- forward the notifying signal to an authorized party associated with the second party when the notifying signal is the distressed signal;
- (K2) in response to determining that the first threshold is not less than the second threshold:
- enabling the voicemail server to intercept the communication on behalf of the second party;
- and
- recording and storing, by the voicemail server, the intercepted communication in a server storage associated with the at least one service provider;
- (K3) in response to determining that the voicemail recorder either does not exist or is not runnable on the second device, determining whether the first threshold is less than the second threshold;
- (K3i) in response to determining that the first threshold is less than the second threshold:
- calculating a complete load time of a new voicemail recorder,
- determining whether the complete load time is less than the first threshold;
- in response to determining that the calculated complete load time of the new voicemail recorder is less than the first threshold:
- preparing the new voicemail recorder with at least one task corresponding to the calculated complete load time;
- in response to the voicemail recorder is prepared successfully and the first threshold has been reached, activate the new voicemail recorder to intercept the communication on behalf of the second party;
- and
- recording and storing, by the new voicemail recorder, the intercepted communication in the local storage of the second device;
- (K3ii) in response to determining that the calculated load time of the new voicemail recorder is not less than the first threshold or in response to determining that the first threshold is not less than the second threshold:
- enabling the voicemail server to intercept the communication on behalf of the second party;
- and
- recording and storing, by the voicemail server, the intercepted communication in the server storage associated with the at least one service provider;
- and
- (L) retrieving, by the second party of the second device, the stored communication for reviewing.
