Vodafone Germany must be feeling a little left out of the iPhone party that’s sweeping through Europe right now. With T-Mobile Germany rumored to be getting exclusive dibs on the iPhone in the land of hefeweizen and sauerkraut (oh, and bratwurst and the Autobahn – can’t forget those!), Vodafone Germany must be thinking that the next best thing to actually carrying the iPhone would be to offer some of the iPhone’s best features.
No, we’re not talking about multi-touch or accelerometers. Vodafone Germany has launched their own “Visual Voicemail” service – they’re callin git “Visual Mailbox”. The service lets you visually peruse voicemails and delete skip over the ones that you just don’t care to listen to at the moment. But, unlike AT&T’s Visual Voicemail system for the iPhone, the Vodafone Germany Visual mailbox system will route received voicemails to the user’s MMS inbox. It’s kind of a round-about way to get visual access to your voicemail, but it sounds like a decent plan.
We’ll just stick with the iPhone’s integrated Visual Voicemail feature. We like being able to rewind, call back, delete, and view caller info at a whim. Oh, and the iPhone doesn’t have MMS support yet, so this method wouldn’t work on the iPhone anyway.
