In one aspect, a device includes a processor and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to parse content of a message and determine, based on the parsing of content of the message, whether to provide a notification using the device. The instructions are also executable by the processor to provide the notification responsive to a determination, based on the parsing of content of the message, to provide the notification using the device.

The present invention is directed to a system and method of providing ringless voicemail, where a voicemail service provider can deliver a message to a telephone service user in the most unobtrusive manner available. The present invention overcomes limitations of traditional automatic calling, by utilizing carrier service provider abilities to provide access to the voicemail services directly, without actually calling and ringing the telephone service user's telephone. The access can be implemented on any carrier service. The method includes retrieving a voicemail access number of a carrier service provider; accessing a voicemail system of the carrier service provider using the voicemail access number; navigating an interactive voice response system of the carrier service provider to reach a prompt for leaving a voicemail message in a voicemail box of a telephone user; and leaving the voicemail message in the voicemail box without initiating ringing of a phone of the telephone user.

A method for transferring information indicative of a voicemail to a recipient includes receiving a message via a voicemail system transmitted from a remote device. The method also includes storing the message in a memory associated with the voicemail system. The method further includes transmitting a voicemail notification indicator to a recipient via a designated radio frequency band for receipt by a recipient having access to a radio receiver.

An incoming call indicator for a telephone is structured to detect light emitted from a light source that is already present on the telephone, and that is illuminated in response to an incoming telephone call and/or waiting message. If the telephone utilizes different on/off cadences for the light to indicate external calls, internal calls, and/or waiting messages, then the cadence is detected, and an audio or visual output device is used to emit a signal corresponding to the specific detected event.
