I wonder....
Except for the handful of frequent posters( a vocal minority) answering Tim's questions, I can't begin to figure out how he can come up with an accepted solution.
In reality, the only single benchmark of whether the service works or not, is whether the service works or not. I suspect that this would be the most important facet of the service.
Sure, a few may bolt because they can't have some esoteric feature that they want or maybe had with a previous provider, but for me, the only crucial feature is that the service works with a high % of reliability. If that does not happen, no feature will take its place.
I know how difficult it must be for Tim to try to please everyone, but I wonder, in the end, if that is possible.
I would also guess that, and I've said this many times before, what would a service be like in quality and price if only a handful of basic features were offered and the development and support minimized in order to keep the costs down.
Tim could charge for YouMail, just to see how badly some want it :)
Even if just a setup fee.
I use You Mail with my cell and like it.
I'd like to see no answer forward. Seems like it could solve a lot of problems. You can forward to Youmail, GV or anywhere you want.

Personally, I would definitely use something like this if it was free, but I probably wouldn't pay extra for it (mostly due to my current financial situation). I do think that this type of feature set is on it's way to being the norm and it will be offered by more carriers soon. My opinion is the VOIPo should at least scope what it takes to implement this. You don't want to be too far behind if your competitors start offering it...
EDIT - want to add one other thing after looking at the voicepulse posts. VOIPo customers should be able to choose from three things: free basic VOIPo voicemail (not part of YouMail), basic YouMail (free but with ads) or premium YouMail. I don't want to be forced into using a voicemail service with ads. Thanks
Yes, to Youmail. Love to be able to assign different greeting to different phone numbers, especially telemarketers.
Changing greetings online is also a plus.
I don't get very many (less than 10 voicemails per quarter), so I wouldn't have a need.
Besides, I find VOIPo's voicemail is excellent. :p
Made me stop and think... I get maybe 3 voice mails a week - and those are usually people returning calls I made. Interesting how we all use so much email now.Quote:

All we need is a better way to get them, android/iphone apps with visual voicemail and voipo settings manager would be AWESOME, but what about those that have some other phone.
The most cost effective and rather simple approach, a non bloated mobile website, with perhaps three tabs:
voicemail, missed calls, and settings (dnd, forward, etc.)
All this can be done very easily, with little cost, and be implemented sooner than later. Start with voicemail, then add features over time which is easy with websites because there is no software on the users end.
Now your android / iphone app can be as simple as an icon which opens a url, coded with a few auto login credentials so you can auto login. EASY PEASY
If all that is just to hard, expand the API so others can work together to make a cool mobile app. Voipo already started with the API but currently it is to limited. It should be as easy as getting info from the database, vms, missed calls, settings, etc.
Just my 84cents. (Just realized the is no cent symbol on the keyboard!

Getting the voicemail .wav file sent to my email address is all I need. Transcriptions sound like a cool idea (as part of an email) but I would not pay extra for it.
