I was just browsing the Apple Dashboard Widgets site this morning and came across a Callwave widget. I had heard of Callwave, but wasn’t familiar with the service. I installed the widget out of curiosity, went through the sign up service, and am absolutely amazed at how awesome the service really is.
Here’s what happens with Callwave:
- I change my voicemail forwarding phone number from the AT&T voicemail center to the Callwave voicemail number.
- Anyone calling me and leaving me a voicemail gets my Callwave voicemail box.
- I get a text message with a voice-2-text translation of the voicemail!!
- I get an email with a link to open my voicemail online.
- My dashboard widget updates and tells me I have a new voicemail, who it’s from, and I can play it right from my widget.
- I can check my voicemail by calling my mobile number or the Callwave voicemail number.
So, basically I lose absolutely no functions, and I get voice-2-text messages and email of the voicemail. Freakin’ awesome!
