I’ve been international for three weeks now and SpinVox is dutifully keeping me in the loop. For the first two weeks, I turned my phone off. I couldn’t stand giving Vodafone the additional cash.
Since I went out and got a T-Mobile sim with unlimited data (and put it in my unlocked G1) I have been getting the SpinVox email notifications on a regular basis. Absolutely fantastic.
Again, it would be simply brilliant if SpinVox integrated with my address book (a la HulloMail) so that I could see exactly who called — instead of reading the message. Often, because folk are so used to their MSISDN identity proceeding them, they tend not to say who they are. Fine if you’re listening to the voicemail. Not so fine if their speech to text translated message simply says ‘Call me’.
Very useful, even though I’m abroad.
How are you finding SpinVox? Any recommendations for other services I should be trying out?
