Telecom Voicemail Viewer launching today: Next best thing to Visual Voicemail?
It may not be actual Visual Voicemail, but this could be the next best thing to it in New Zealand. Telecom are launching a new Voicemail service this morning called Voicemail Viewer whereby when a voicemail is left for you a SMS is sent detailing who called, when they called, the length of the message, and — here’s the killer bit — a number to dial to access that specific message, bypassing any others that might be waiting.
