The Mobile Answering Device (MAD), is a mobile communication system comprising of an electronic device or circuit, software, App, platform, network, computer, or server that attaches to or is installed within, or links to a smart phone, tablet, or laptop. The MAD enables a mobile communication device such as, a smart phone, cell phone, tablet, or laptop to answer an incoming mobile phone call by way of a pre-recorded message. After the message has played, the caller can leave a brief or detailed voice message. During the time that the caller is leaving his or her messages, the user of the mobile communication device can hear the caller's message without the caller's knowledge; thus, enabling the user to pre-screen or monitor his or her mobile phone calls before answering the mobile phone call. Further, the MAD enables a user to send and receive Audio-Video electronic mail (AVEmail).
