Ringless Voicemail Drops (often called simply Ringless Voicemail) allow businesses to send a pre-recorded voicemail directly to a large group of customers’ cell phones—without their phones actually ringing. Think of it as an “e-blast,” but with voicemails instead of emails.

This is an effective and affordable way to get your message or special offer out to a broad audience at once. It’s flexible across many industries and perfect for promotions, reminders, or event announcements.

In the automotive industry, for example, we often use Ringless Voicemails to:

• Remind customers to watch their mailbox before a Direct Mail Campaign
• Reinforce offers during an ongoing campaign
• Follow up after a marketing campaign wraps up

How the Ringless Voicemail Drop Process Works

1. Record Your Message

You can record your own message—or Hive Media can provide professional voice talent to create it for you.
We've found that messages sound most authentic when they are conversational and a little imperfect. No need to worry about “ums” or natural pauses—realness helps your message connect.

2. Create the List

We upload your customer database into our system, filter out landlines, and keep only valid cell phone numbers. We also screen out anyone on the National Do Not Call List to ensure compliance.

3. Set the Timeframe and Volume

You choose when your Ringless Voicemails are delivered. Whether it’s a full-day blast or a few targeted hours, we adjust the send rate to match your team's ability to handle callbacks. (Yes, your phones will start ringing quickly!)

4. Track and Resend as Needed

We monitor delivery rates, track any failed sends (like those caused by poor service areas), and resend as needed to maximize campaign success.

Why Ringless Voicemails Work

When a customer sees a "missed call" and a "new voicemail" pop up unexpectedly, they're curious—and much more likely to listen right away. Unlike emails or texts that can get buried, voicemails feel personal and prompt immediate attention.
Get ready: when we hit send, your phones will ring—with real, engaged leads.

Things to Know (The Good, the Bad & the Manageable)

• Some carriers deliver voicemails differently. A few customers may call back before hearing the voicemail.
• Occasionally, a phone might ring briefly or show multiple missed calls depending on carrier settings.
• It’s important to have a phone script ready for your team to quickly connect the callback to your offer.
• Like any marketing campaign, you’ll get a mix of hot leads—and a few off-topic calls. Stay positive and focus on the opportunity.

At Hive Media, we send voicemails in controlled bursts to avoid overwhelming your team—and we can slow or pause the campaign if needed.

Is Ringless Voicemail Legal?

Yes. Ringless Voicemail is legal when guidelines are followed. We ensure your phone lists are scrubbed against the National Do Not Call Registry, keeping your campaign compliant and safe.

Some states are becoming stricter, so it’s more important than ever to partner with a team that knows the rules—like Hive Media.
