PhoneTag - An easier solution to dying voicemail

When I used to receive 10-20 voicemail messages per day from the office, it was a complete pain in the arse to go through them each hour to make sure I wasn't missing something important.  When the server room was down?  "Sorry, didn't get that memo," was not a viable solution.  So I looked at a service called Simulscribe.  I fell in love with the service immediately.  It was simple -- Sign up, redirect voicemail to their phone number and never check my voicemail again.  How do they do it?  It's simple, as PhoneTag (previously Simulscribe) shows you:

I wasn't too skeptical of whether or not a service like this could take off.  To my amazement, I was not the only person out there that valued their time and didn't want to waste 30 minutes per day listening to messages (most of which were junk) when they could be working, on the golf course or simply taking a relaxing bubble bath.  Today, PhoneTag has been written about in The New York Times, Forbes and even NPR (Radio?  What's that?).

Yeah, it may not be free anymore but I still highly recommend their service to anyone that cares about how they spend 1/16th of their work day.  It's a lot of time to be spending with a phone pressed against your ear and it can really hurt your neck.  You wouldn't want to get hurt by listening to voicemail, right?  That'd be embarrassing.

Marc, yes he has. I believe he really likes the service. I'll have to see how he's been using it since I last spoke with him.
