We’ve already talked about SpinVox’s visual voice-to-text voicemail service in the past. Now Canada-based Telus is adding the service to its offering, allowing users to read their voice mail as text messages or email.
According to Telus’ official release, users will be able to “see what was said”, hence be more productive while on-the-go. That being said, with the new service mobile workers will be able to retrieve voice mail in settings in which they normally couldn’t – such as meetings, seminars and loud environments. The message includes the caller’s hyperlinked phone number, so users have the option of responding easily. They can also get an audio recording of the message as an attachment.
Telus Visual Voice Mail has a pay-per-use option for business users who want occasional access to voice mail in text format, while frequent users can choose an unlimited monthly subscription. To subscribe, interested users should visit/call their sales contact or a local dealer, calling customer care or adding the feature on mytelusmobility.com.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
