cool app and good post

along these lines be sure to check out very similar app called Youmail.com that comes with an additional and ( i think ) better twist on the whole notion of voicemail — having fun with it again. you leave different greetings for different callers and you can “ditchmail” callers you don’t want to hear from anymore with your own or uploaded greetings. pretty neat

They were in Makezine recently…

Joel: Not currently, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re thinking about it, especially as the iPhone nears launch. For now, I’m fine with getting an email since I can just search/filter to see all those messages together on my Blackberry.

Josh: That looks like a great service. Thanks for mentioning it. I really like CallWave’s widget, rather than having to load a page to view messages all the time. GrandCentral has that customized greeting feature, and it can be quite handy.

I’d really love a service that worked with both my landline and cell phone so I can get all messages in one place.

This service sounds like a lesser version of YouMail (www.youmail.com). YouMail also gives you this visual aspect of e-mail. In addition, it lets you create custom outgoing messages. So when my friend Joe calls, the outgoing message can say “Hey Joe, leave a message” which is fun for the callers.

How is this like the iPhone? Do they have any plans for a downloadable app in Windows Mobile that will allow you to see your messages like the iPhone has?

It is nice in theory, but that is the one thing that sets the iPhone apart. Now if CallWave added that feature I’d be sold on it.

Kwgainey, I think Time Management was talking about the iPhone, not CallWave’s visual voicemail.

Time Management: You said it only works on cingular – the website says most carriers and I was able to get it to work with my verizon phone. The sound quality is a little grainy, but hey, can’t beat the price. Now if I could just get a widget that would let me check my vonage voicemails….

Visual voice is the way of the future. I am sure every cellphone now will have it. It also depends on whether your cellphone provider supports it. I am sure all cellphone providers will be rushing to offer this to their customers.

I have longed for one the day it was introduced.
My only gripes with it :
- availability limited to cingular
- I am still wondering about the soft-key qwerty keyboard.
