First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a one or more computing servers;
a one or more network interfaces;
non-transitory computer readable memory storing program code that when executed by the one or more computing servers is configured to cause the system to at least;
provide a software program for download to a first computing device associated with a user;
receive a verified phone address associated with the user, wherein the verification of the phone address comprises verification that a received set of digits is a valid phone address;
based at least in part on the receipt of the verified phone address, create a user account wherein the verified phone address is associated with the user account;
enable delivery of a voice message directed to the user to the first computing device associated with the user, wherein the delivered voice message is playable to the user via a user interface of the software program;
enable the user to play the voice message via a web browser of a second computing device associated with the user; and
in response to a voice message deletion instruction received via the web browser of the second computing device associated with the user, enable at least in part, synchronization of the deletion of the voice message stored on the first computing device associated with the user in cooperation with the software program on the first computing device associated with of the user.

Abstract
Communication systems and methods are described. In an illustrative embodiment, embeddable code is provided to a user to embed on a user web page. A communication request is received from a visitor via a user interface displayed on the user web page, the user interface including an address field configured to receive from the visitor an address associated with the visitor, and a text entry field configured to receive a text message from the visitor, wherein the user interface is generated at least in part by the code. If the visitor enters a phone address into the address field, a determination is made as to whether the phone address is valid at least partly in response to a first action by the visitor. If the visitor enters text into the text entry field, the text is transmitted to the user at least partly in response to a second action by the visitor.
