Comments on: Can't wait for iPhone voice mail? Use Callwave now

CallWave is about the coolest free cell-phone utility I have ever seen, and it goes a long way toward making me not care so much about the "visual voice mail" that Steve Jobs touted for the upcoming iPhone.

Amazing service

I'm currently using Cingular, and the frustrations of using their voicemail almost fills me with dread every time I need to check my messages. (One of my biggest pet peeves with Cingular is the need to review all previously deleted messages before you can listen to new ones - what's the point of deleting them then!)

I've been using this for only a short time, but am quickly finding it extremely convenient. The email integration is very useful when I don't have my cellphone handy, and having a text message sent to your phone with caller ID is even better.

The last thing I appreciate is that there is no bombardment of ads to people calling you, or when you check your voicemail - in fact no ads at all. It's almost unbelievable that this is all free, and it makes me want to pay for the extended services to get features I don't need - just to ensure the company will survive!

Worked great on Verizon. Easy setup, very quick and simple.

Thanks for the heads up on this wonderful service. Works great, very useful, and this is how all voicemail should be.

Callwave web site not working

I am eager to try Callwave but it turns out that I am unable to signup for an account. Not sure whats happening with the site. Until I saw visual voicemail, I didnt know that would be a feature I wanted! People have just come to accept that voicemail navigation is serial. 3373373373373373373373....

Cooler than he thinks

CallWave can work with more than just the cell phone - I can tie in my home and office numbers. But even if it only replaced my Cingular voicemail, it is much better!
