UPDATE:
Based on the comment of SamZeb, I tried http://www.callwave.com/ och if you live in North America, this service is a lot better than GotVoice.com that blogged about below. Thanks Sam!
It’s a been a while since I got a chance to keep up with the latest and greatest when it comes to cool stuff as work has kept me really busy. One of the things I really enjoy at work is the unified messaging system we have. For those who don’t know what that means, here is a definition:
“The use of computers and data communication equipment to provide a single mailbox for email, fax, and voice messages accessible by PC, Web browser, and telephone.”
As you can see this makes life a lot easier to work from anywhere. I was wishing to have something similar for my personal cell phone, i.e. receive my voice mails over email (you could ask why that would be useful; I promise you it is, for me at least). And seems there is a company that provides this service for free (for retrieviing 3 msgs/day). So if you are comfortable with the fact that this company can listen to your voicemails, you might find http://farshid.sedghi.org/wp-admin/www.GotVoice.com useful.

There’s also another neat tool call CallWave (http://www.callwave.com) — this has the same kind of thing. It allows you to listen to voicemail via e-mail (much like you do with the Cisco Unity VM system) and can also intercept calls and VM so you can eavesdrop your voicemail while someone is leaving it, and then even pick up the call midway…pretty sweet system. And best of all, it’s free. Check out CallWave Mobile - neat stuff!
