Phonable

Phonable is a smarter voicemail app for iPhone that transcribes messages, summarises them with AI, and sends automatic text replies.

Phonable replaces standard carrier voicemail on your iPhone. When you miss a call, the app sends an automatic text back to the caller and delivers an AI summary and full transcript of any voicemail within seconds. You keep your own phone number, SIM card, and device without needing a new number. Set up custom modes like Workday or Driving to automatically change your AI greeting and text replies based on your schedule. The app also includes features like caller contact names, light and dark mode, and a dedicated line option. It offers a free Test Drive plan along with Basic and Pro subscription tiers in the App Store.
