The smartest new handsets are bringing communication and content all the way to our back pockets and CallWave is one of the applications helping people do some amazing things.  Most recently CallWave Mobile has developed a PC application that will allow tasks that are hard to do on your phone easy to do on your PC. Their service works with virtually any cell phone and network, whether your using a PC or a Mac and it’s free.

This voicemail replacement solution for mobile phones is a lot like GotVoice according to the bloggers at Lifehacker.

"It does have more options and actually replaces your carrier’s voicemail, meaning you’ll get any voicemail via e-mail as soon as it’s left." 

CallWave Mobile also allows you to respond to messages instantly with text reply and call back features.  The windows organizational features are very helpful allowing you to permanently save messages on your computer.

Now, if you’re looking for a voicemail solution that offers a little more meat and a little more fun you might try checking out YouMail. Not only do they offer the same voicemail to e-mail options but their system also allows users to record unique voice greetings to anyone who calls. They also have the infamous Ditchmail feature that will hang up on unwanted callers after they have heard your recorded greeting. 

This is worth trying out just for the fun of recording individual greetings for the people that call me.  Seth Kinast thinks so too. He says, it’s very cool and very free but he notes, "it does use cellphone minutes to check your voicemail."

Jonathan Greene from atmaspheric endeavors is a huge data user and he mentions the fact that when he purchased his new Nokia cell phone the first number he entered was his YouMail voicemail number.

"I get text alerts from Google Calendar for when I need to be
somewhere and YouMail also sends a callerID text for voicemails which
is quite nice."

Without a doubt the Telecom industry and all of the applications and services that go along with it is one of the most fascinating and fun segments of the 2.0 sector today.  Robert Stumpel from Everything 2.0 absolutely agrees.  He sees this area of technology exploding in 2007 and has put together a rather extensive list of telecom applications services and what they provide. We think his list deserves a look.
