Spinvox saves my relationships

I hate voicemails in quite a strong way. When I want to pick up a message it doesn’t always go through the first time so I have to hang up and redial. When I do get through I have to listen to the woman with a plum in her mouth, talk about how many messages I have, which message she is going to hit me with first, and then when it was sent. I am a product of the digital age, I am notorious for having a short attention span so it is unfair to expect me to answer every voicemail when this is the ritual I have to go through. I had been seeing Mr James Whatley (Whatleydude) twittering about a company he works for called Spinvox and decided to see what he actually did for a living to justify being on Twitter more than I am (props BTW). Spinvox takes your voicemail messages, turns them into text messages and delivers them directly to your phone as a text message. Golden! I tend to go to a lot of conferences and it’s so annoying when people leave voicemails during the day and are then put out when I don’t answer them immediately, so having them converted into text message that can easily be accessed if going to save a lot of my relationships. I think one of the great things that Spinvox has done is to really focus on their brand by employing someone specifically to promote the service across various social media, establishing a relationship with those who are most likely to take up the service before it hits the mainstream. Thanks James
