Ribbit makes it very clear that on its priceplans that you can have humans transcribing your messages, or automated (and less accurate) transcriptions.

Even without the transcription, the voicemail-as-MP3 is highly useful. Although if you just want that, you might be better off with Hullo Mail.

Except the only useful feature of Ribbit is outsourced to some 3rd world country. If you're happy with random people reading your personal voicemail, then it might be a good suggestion.

Pretty feature rich off the bat, and looks like something I might play with for my own use, or Redcatco's customers. Feels like a much nicer path to unified communications that other routes I've seen. Nice write up sir!
