I think that youmail.com has to be one of the greatest free services available right now. I was given an opportunity to try out the new SpinVox accounts that should be available to the public soon, but if the two services are not compatible (and I believe they won't be), I think that I'll stick with youmail. Youmail allows a personal voicemail greeting for different contacts in your phonebook. I've already started customizing depending on the type of messages left. With one person, my voicemail greeting now says, Hi..., you don't need to leave a message. I'll see that you called and call you back." With another I said, "If you're calling because I'm late, then I'm sorry." Youmail also allows you to listen to your messages on line or have wav files emailed to you. SpinVox will convert voicemails to text and send them as text messages. I think that's cool, but not necessary for me right now. Both services will be free.

P.S. Don't be intimidated by the wierd welcome screen at youmail.
