I can totally see the benefit of a service like yours, but in the end, for me, I'm liking my solution - each to their own :) Thanks for the suggestion, and honesty about your bias :) I did try to look at spinvox, but their website is rubbish and I could see no way of signing up to their voicemail package.

Tweeting that now. One thing you might consider is signing up for one of these services that converts your voicemails to text and sends them to your cell phone and/or email. You still get the messages, but you can skim them more easily in text. GoogleVoice offers a free option with a low-grade conversion. GotVoice offers a pay version that has 99% accurate transcriptions (full disclosure: I work for GotVoice, so I'm a little biased. But also happy to get your feedback if you try it.) What do you think? Have you tried something like this yet? Hamlesh–
