Visual Voicemail on ANY Smart Phone
A very cool service that allows you to have Visual Voicemail on ANY smart phone with ANY carrier, NOT just with the iPhone on ATT! It also allows you to READ your Voicemail when you are not in a situation where you can listen to it. And you can get notified of voicemails and missed calls via text and email.
One cool feature that I really like is that it has a "Smart Voicemail Greeting" where it greets the caller by name (it grabs the name from the caller ID), and tells them that you are not available. Check it out! Click here.
