How to Kill Off Voice Mails

If you choose to, you can get rid of voice mail without technically barring those who want to leave them from doing so. Mike over on TechCrunch is arguing for the death of voice mail. Web Worker thinks it's too early to complete kill it off. I've been compromising for at least a year now and it's great. I haven't listened to a voice mail since starting to use Spinvox which converts my voice mails to text and delivers them as an email. I can get through 10 voice mails in a minute by reading and erasing them. If I had to listen to them it would be at least ten minutes of listening to blah, blah, blah and then reacting. Plus, the best part is, if people leave numbers where to call them back, they are immediately ckickable when reading the mail on my phone. This saves you the hassle of always writing things down. Inevitable, voice mail will disappear. I am convinced of this and Mike is right that the end is near. Until then though, I believe SpinVox is a good compromise.
