Our Virtual Dial-in package is a designated phone number for your loved ones to call from their own cell phones/landlines and leave voicemails to. It also includes a web page that has a little blurb of how it works, pictures of you and your partner, and the voicemail phone number! It is active for around 1-2 weeks and once the line closes, our editing team will edit that audio to the end of your event phone audio, providing you with an updated audio file! HERE is an example of the web page.
