A reader is looking for a voicemail system for his dating sites. Everyone gets a VM box, and have free access via telephone. Leaving message would cost the sending $N/minute.
This being 2005 and the internet and all, I started thinking about a VOIP solutions.
Skype would be a good solution, but not a revenue generator unless you did a deal with them to take part of the fee. It’s free to make/receive calls to your screen-name, but an assigned phone number and voicemail features costs around $90/year. I just ordered both features and am inviting select friends, family and associated to call my new # from their phones, which rings on my laptop when I’m logged in. When I’m offline, their call goes to voicemail. Sweet.
Stacy at gNumber might have more to say about this. They have some new products and services that might address the issue. Looks like their site is down for a revamp but I’ve been using their DateNumber product for a while now.
Anyone else know of a turnkey voicemail solution worth considering? I remember seeing CallKey at iDate. Another one is MyPrivateLine, which has been mentioned here previously.
