Regretfully, my number actually doesn’t spell anything. So if you’re creative enough to figure it out, you can call me and give me your own thoughts.

When I added VoIP phone service to our home phones via Comcast’s Digital Voice service, one of the options available to me was to be e-mailed and notified any voice-mail messages that were received on my home phone.

GotVoice brings that same functionality back to me, and adds the same function for cell phone messages as well.
Have you ever wished you would have saved that important voicemail? Would you like to share your voicemails with family, friends or coworkers? With GotVoice, you can, for FREE!
