callwaveI hate getting voicemails on my cell phone, more than I hate getting voicemails on my business line. With my office, I have a web based console that allows me to listen to my voicemails via Web site or via email - in addition to over the phone.

CallWave has a service that allows you to add that type of service to your cell phone's voicemail. It basically overrides your current voicemail service from your provider and hosts in at CallWave. But the service allows me to manage my cell phone voicemails via the Web or a Mac Widget (or Yahoo! Widget) (download widget here).

You can listen, delete or undelete your voicemails via the widget, web site, or via your cell phone.

Again, this completely overrides your service provider's voicemail service. You can switch back at any time.

I am using the free service, you can also, just go here. The paid service adds a few features at $10 per month, features, I personally do not need. In addition, you do not get a voicemail indicator on the phone, instead you can opt for a text message that gives you a wealth of information on the voicemail.

For example, yesterday, I was out of range, I received a voicemail, but I didn't know from who, because the call never reached me. The text message would have said, I received a call from ABC at this time and the voicemail is X long.

I am giving it a try and so far, so good. I'll let you know if I ever switch back.
