V4S: free voicemail for Skype

Filed under: Cellphones, Desktops, Handhelds, Portable AudioSkype: you use it, you love it, but you're too damn
tight to pay for any of the extended services. Don't sweat it son, 'cause now even you cheap bastages can have Skype
voicemail via Orb Networks' free V4S
voicemail service. What's more, V4S (that's, Voicemail for Skype) makes those voicemails accessible from any device with
a streaming audio player connected to the Net (without any additional software), can send you new message alerts via
email or SMS, and allows you to easily rewind and fast-forward messages since they are played in your media player. The
service does, however require that you run their beta software on your XP machine logged into Skype and connected to the
Internet "all the time" since this is the device which serves up and hosts those .WMA stored voicemails. We
can't imagine that Skype will be too happy about Orb Networks cutting into their revenue stream so you'd better get to
downloading your beta while the downloadin's good.[Thanks, Dave]Permalink*|*Email this*|*Linking*Blogs*|*Comments Ads by Google
