Read Your Voicemails - Visual Voicemail, Speech-to-Text, Voicemail Options

Did you know that you can read your Voice mail messages instead of listen to them? I hate listening to voicemails because most of the time they are "Hey Paul, It's _____. Give me a shout. Thanks, bye." The process of retreiving and deleting voicemails with Verizon is lengthy and inconvenient and I would usually let them pile up.

I now subscribe to PhoneTag, a company that transcribes my voice mails to e-mails. Basically, it converts the sounds of people talking to text. The e-mails get delivered to my Black Berry with a .wav sound attachment. That way I have the option of listening to the actual message if the e-mail doesn't make sense. PhoneTag accurately transcribes about 95% of my messages.

The service costs $9.99 a month which includes 40 messages. Additional messages are $0.25 each.

There is also the unlimited voicemail plan for $29.99 a month.

Use the link below to receive 1 month free service with PhoneTag and give it a try.
