Toronto startup Think Idea Do has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo for their AutoAAN voicemail app, which aims to save users money by providing voicemail service for a one-time fee of $5 instead of monthly charges that can cost up to $100 per year. A survey found that 42% of voicemail users were unaware of costs and over 45% would switch to AutoAAN to avoid fees. In addition to savings, AutoAAN offers unlimited storage and contextual greetings to provide callers more information. The campaign runs until July 10th with the app expected to launch in September 2014.

In May, AutoAAN commissioned a study to gauge the impact this could have. Over
400 people were surveyed, and the results showed that 42 percent of voicemail
users didn’t know how much they were paying. On top of that, over 45 percent
would switch to AutoAAN if they didn’t have to pay for voicemail again. If
10,000,000 voicemail users made the switch, they could save over $600 million a
year (by replacing a $5 monthly plan.)
On top of the savings, AutoAAN has additional features that your standard
voicemail is missing. There are no limits on how many messages you can store or
how long they can be, and they never expire. When the phone rings, you can
choose from one of 12 ’contextual greetings’ to play for the caller. Instead of
your standard ’I’m not here, leave a message,’ you can let them know you’re in a
meeting, at a restaurant, or watching cat videos.
Founder Daniel Feuer is a serial entrepreneur and a mentor to young
entrepreneurs and his hope is that AutoAAN will end the expensive voicemail
monopoly. ’Our app is the first that puts the control of voicemail where it
should be, with the phone owner. No longer will anyone be dependent on their
carrier for an under-powered and over-priced answering machine,’ said Feuer.
’Aside from the practical cost savings, callers can now have context as to why
they received voicemail and when the call will be returned. AutoAAN will do for
voicemail what VOIP did for long-distance by providing competition and savings.’
AutoAAN’s Indiegogo campaign lasts until July 10 and is flexible, meaning that
any funds contributed will go toward the project. The app is expected to be
released in September 2014.
