can anyone tell me the url for this company who are offering free voicemail
to email service in australia? they issue you with a telephone number which
people can call in, leaving voice messages, then it saves it as voice files,
sends it to your email account, which you can access anywhere in the world,
and its all free.

i heard it on the radio last week but was driving. thanks!

I have had a quick look at their service, it's just the old vfax.com.au
repackaged. I was so unimpressed with both vFax and mbox that I gave up
using it - I could never get it to receive a fax, and their help desk never
got back to me. Since it's free you may as well try it, but make sure it
works to your satisfaction before you start giving out the number to
everyone.

jfax.com.au . The messages are free, the service is not.

Great service, just a satisfied user.

I think the person is referring to Mbox.

I had that problem too. Their voicmail used to e-mail me the wrong messages
and it always liked to loose my greeting, of course that was when it worked
at all.

I had that problem before, I wonder if this is any better, I might give it a
bash and see.

I've recently signed up with http://www.fax4free.com - it's based in
the States but all basic services are free - no credit card number is
required for registration.

You get:

- A US phone number for receiving faxes and voice mail
- Faxes delivered to your email address
- Voicemail delivered to your email address in .wav file format
- You can also listen to voicemail by dialing the US phone number and
entering a passcode. Also do this to set up your greeting.
- You can send free faxes via the website (you can attach files such as
MS-Word documents) to any fax in Australia, USA, Canada and UK.

I've only been using fax4free for a short time but so far it seems to
be reliable and fast.

Given the right carrier, of course, it's often cheaper for people to
call the USA from Australia during Aus business hours than it is for
them to call, say, a Melbourne number from Brisbane.

Love,
Carla

jfax.com, run out of the US does supply unified messaging services in
Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

mBox is an arm of Impress Technologies of Perth and is currently being
spun off.

Telstra's doing some trial as well.

Whether these include voicemail to email . . . ???

Mbox does, like I said. It also includes fax to email, and email to email ;)

Warning -- off-topic. I'm talking mostly about faxing here, and not
voicemail.

Ok, I can't speak for vfax, but I >do< know that the fax component of
fax4free kicks ass over mbox. It sends you the fax/voicemail to your
pre-existing e-mail account -- no fiddly checking an online e-mail
account (which won't work with Opera 3.62 by the way) to see if anyone
has faxed.

I'll be very happy if they ever get their act together and fully
branch out internationally ...
