Even though Optus announced they were launching a SpinVox powered voice-to-text voicemail service back in April, the service itself has only just launched today.
Google Voice has just opened up its fantastic, feature-filled voicemail to any phone number (pending that you have a Google Voice account). This means you can finally free your voicemail from your mobile phone service provider.
We’ve had a few people comment that Vodafone’s Visual Voicemail feature for iPhones isn’t actually working despite our post yesterday. Well, the good news – hopefully – is that it should be completely active by Friday. At least, that’s what they told Gus over at Lifehacker. Let’s hope they’re right. Or, more tro the point, let’s hope the other networks follow suit pronto…
When Steve jobs first showed off the iPhone back in 2006, there was one cool feature that somehow never made it out here in Australia with the iPhone 3g: Visual Voicemail. But today, Vodafone has finally launched the service for their iPhone 3G customers.
Remember back in February when we told you about SpinVox, the speech-to-text service that converts your voicemail into SMS messages for Telstra customers? Well, if you’re an Optus mobile customer, you’ll be able to enjoy the same service in the near future.

Rack this one up as an awesome idea. Telstra has partnered with a company called SpinVox to launch a service which automagically converts your voicemail messages to text, and then sends you an SMS so you can read the message instead of having to listen to it.
A new service dubbed TrapCall allows users to unmask pesky blocked callers—revealing not only their number, but their name and address in some cases.
