WAM...the Web Answer Machine
WAM uses your email inbox to store
your messages, letting you get to them faster, easier, and
actually giving you content in them, unlike traditional
voicemail. As you know, here the message is hidden away
from you and the only way to get to them is by voicecall.
Easy access
Because WAM uses your existing email
as your answer machine, it is as easy to access as your
email. So you can listen to them by webmail, Thunderbird,
Outlook, Lotus or even on your iPhone or Blackberry. Of
course you'll still be able to dial in to listen to your
messages the same way you always have
Lifespan
Imagine
if all the music you bought
you could only listen to it for a week and then it was gone?
Or the memory of your last holiday also disappeared after
7 days? That's what happens to your voicemail, you listen
to it, but 'saving' normally means for a maximum of a week.
You cant keep it forever...why would you put up with that?
Only because its the way its always been, but we think that's
wrong. Thats why we made the WAM so you could get your voicemails
a new way, by putting them straight in your inbox
Free
your voicemail
We put them in your email inbox,
and once they're there, you can do whatever you like with
them....they're automatically saved forever until you specifically
delete them. You can save them to your hard-drive, forward
them to friends and family
From there you can do whatever
you can do with any other email. The freedom to listen again
and again, forward to friends and family, reply, save, cut
and paste, and many other things we've not thought of yet,
but then we've never had access to our voicemail before,
have we?
This is what other people are doing with their WAM accounts
Which email
While at the moment we're giving
detailed instructions for googlemail only, WAM will work
just as well with any IMAP4 email (huh?).
We'll be expanding the detailed instructions shortly, starting
with .Mac.

Which phone
The simple answer is, any. Provided
you can divert your voicemails, you can use any phone you
like with WAM.
Premium WAM
We plan to launch a premium ad-free
service soon, with extra features and widgets galore.
If you're interested send
us an email and we'll be able to let you know when it
becomes available.
WAM for biz
Similarly we're going to be launching
a business version of WAM that will integrate into your
company email system and we'll be able to brand it up for
you too. Again send
us an email and we'll be able to let you know when it
becomes available.
Global WAM
At the moment WAM is available only
for UK contract mobiles, but this too could well change,
let us know if you're interested by sending
us an email
