Caller ID was probably the most important invention since the microwave oven. I answer my phone probably 40% of the time.
All this hype over the stupid iphone and all I really want is a phone with a better voicemail function. It takes to long to retrieve them. If they could put your voicemails on a list like your text messages, then let you click on them to open them, erase, fast forward, save, etc...that would be something to brag about. I don’t see why my voicemail has to be saved on someone elses computer and I have to call them and get access by entering a stupid code. PUT THE DAM MESSAGE ON MY DAM FONE! ITS MY MESSAGE FOR CRYING OUTLOUD!
Actually that is one of the things that makes the iPhone quite powerful. See the demo video that steps through all the functions or read the text. The demo is very effective.

You’re kidding of course — because that’s what the iPhone does with voice mail messages. I suppose you already knew that... LOL!!
Vonage does that, but you have to log onto your account on-line.
