A several months ago we introduced free calling and free voicemail. However, when your friends reach your voicemail, they are greeted with a boring voicemail greeting.

Not anymore, you can now record your own voicemail greeting so your friends can hear you before they leave a voicemail.

Below, we will show you how to record your own voicemail greeting with the latest version of TextNow + Voice for iOS (4.4.10).

First, go to ‘Settings’ by tapping on the gear cog by the bottom left of the app.

Once you are in ‘Settings’, tap on ‘Voicemail’.

Once you are in ‘Voicemail Settings’, tap ‘Custom Greeting’. Afterwards, an audio recorder will appear near the bottom. Tap on the red record button to start recording your new voicemail greeting. Once you are finished, tap the red stop button. You can hit the play button to playback your recording. If you are unhappy with your recording, you can tap ‘New Recording’ to start over. Once you are happy with your recording, tap ‘Save’.

Voila! You have set your own new voicemail greeting. Now get your friends to call your TextNow phone number and see if they hear the new greeting.

If you have any questions or ran into any issues, feel free to reach out to our support team at http://support.textnow.com.

Happy Texting! 

The result?

Today we are introducing our new platform, Touch.

To learn more about Touch, visit touch.com.

Why did we create Touch? Today there are many communication tools and social networks available. Some are built to maintain relationships with acquaintances, some are built to maintain interest-based public relationships, and still others are for instant communication. However, none of these tools really support us as we maintain our most important relationships.

In real life, we don’t share our life experiences with everyone we’ve ever met – it’s important for us to control who is watching to really be ourselves. When we do this, we don’t stop and think about it; our groups naturally change as our context changes. To maintain our real social life while being apart, we need the same simple experience – the power to naturally stay in full control of our social connections.

In October 2009, we introduced PingChat! to the iTunes App Store as the first free mobile messenger for iPhones and iPods, and it became an instant hit. After introducing PingChat! for Android and BlackBerry to make it cross-platform, PingChat! has grown to over 13 million users worldwide. Our mission since day one has been to bring people around the world closer with their friends and family. By introducing Touch today, we’re taking another step towards delivering on that mission.

The smell of a freshly brewed coffee, a “good morning” full-body stretch and few swift mouse clicks led our eyes to hover over an email simply titled “Canada’s Top Digital Companies”. At first glance it was a seemingly simple message, but what he found inside sent waves of excitement throughout the entire office.

Today nextMEDIA, in association with Deloitte, announced Enflick, along side four other humbling Canadian nominees, to a candidate for the 2011 Digi Awards under the Top Canadian Digital Company category.

New this year, the Digi Awards will honor all five of Canada’s Top Digital Companies including Kobo, Hootsuite, Vision Critical, and Acuisio in this grand prize category. The awards ceremony will be held December the 6^th at the 2011 Gala. You can learn more about both the Digi Awards and the Digital Company category check out the Digi Award FAQ.

Beyond the honour of receiving such a prestigious award, Enflick will also be featured in THE LIST, Canada’s directory of the best and brightest projects, people, and companies in Canadas digital media landscape showcased to the entire world.  To check out THE LIST and find Enlfick’s listing, check out: www.thedigiawards.com/showcase.php.

According the the Digi Awards site, a place on The List means serious exposure, both here in Canada and around the world. The digital space is nothing if not noisy, and businesses in Canada and across the globe will turn to The List online, in trade supplements and in live presentations around the world to help them find the companies and projects that are truly making waves.

We’re all extremely excited to be moving up so quickly in our industry and at the same time humbled by the honours and awards we’ve received in the last few months celebrating our successes.

If you haven’t clued into the beautifully crafted pun yet, Movemeber gives men and women all over the world the opportunity raise both awareness and funds for causes ranging from prostate cancer to depression by simply growing a moustache for the month of November. Though an abstract concept, Movember has seen an incredible response since its conception in 1999 by a group of Australian men from Adelaide and has since help rais millions of dollars for medical research.

Seeing such excellent success, in 2004, the Movember Foundation Charity was established and began the promotion of Movemeber branded events throughout Australia and New Zealand. In 2007, the festivities were expanded and events were launched in Ireland, Canada, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Spain, the United Kingdom, Israel, South Africa, and the United States.

The rules for participants, as given on the official movember website, are as follows:

1. Once registered, each bro must begin the 1st Movember with a clean shaven face.
2. For the entire month of Movember each bro must grow and groom a moustache.
3. There is to be no joining of the mo to the sideburns (that is considered a beard).
4. There is to be no joining of the handlebars to your chin (that is considered a goatee).
5. Each bro must conduct himself like a true country gentleman.

The FAQ on the website clarifies that shaving a beard to provide a ready-made moustache is cheating and not in the spirit of movember. A small growth of hair under the bottom lip (aka a tickler) however, is permitted as long as it is not connected to any other region.

Continuing the promotion of the Movember spirt, our Enflick team has entered the Movember runnings and we are all extremely excited to see the final results; even Rebecca, our HR manager, has joined the ranks. For your enjoyment we begin the month with our presentation of  ”The Baby Face” (clean shaven).

Do your part to raise awareness this month and grow a moustache – Check out Movember online for more information or click here to support the Enflick Team.

This year Bec got her very own Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Tayfun danced around the office with some happy feet, Mark dazzled us with his custom pocket protector, Ian solved a mystery or two and Tristan got his Hawaiian Luau on! Costume wearers not only gained adoring fans around the office, but were also rewarded with a $25.00 gift certificate to the location of their choosing! As usual, our Kokken Halloween inspired lunch was delicious and our spooky ghost cookies from Norris Bakery were phenomenal or perhaps I should say paranormal!

Thank you to everyone that came out, the first annual Enflick Halloween Haunt was a great success and we’re already looking forward to next year!

The funding, publicly announced today, will be used to extend our company’s innovation strategies, focusing on developing and delivering solutions that further enhance and transform interpersonal connectivity. Freestyle Capital led the round with participation by the Menlo Talent Fund, Menlo Ventures’ Seed Program. Contributors also included independent investors and talent managers Troy Carter, the widely recognized manager for multi-platinum Grammy award winner Lady Gaga; and Scooter Braun, manager for teenage singing phenomenon Justin Bieber.

In addition to the exciting news of our funding round, we are pleased to announce that we are one of this year’s recipients of the coveted Companies-to-Watch Award, one of the four separate award categories that make up the 2011 Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ Awards.

Last night we shared, mingled and celebrated our success and achievements with the leaders of some Canada’s most successful companies. This is our first award and one we are both proud of and humbled by. It was a night we will never forget!

In our office today stands a polished new award that reminds us all of our tremendous success thus far and encourages us to reach new heights as we continue to push the limits of technology.

We’d like to thank our investors, Deloitte and the strong support of our community for making our newly announced achievements possible.
