undude,

Heard back from YouMail… Here are the answers to your questions:

1) the transcription currently is only available in English.
2) yes, you can route more than one phone number to the same mailbox. look at the My Settings tab within YouMail.
3) currently, the message storage limit is 600 voicemails.

I have used this product for a year now and I have been very pleased. I also have at&t and messages come to my inbox just as fast as the voicemails I used to receive directly on my phone.

One of the reasons I really like this product is because it sends you a wave file for each voicemail. You can then simply save the email if you want to keep a record of the voicemail.

one thing i can imagine doing is calling myself up to leave messages that i would like to get transcribed… like voice-notes, but with a free transcription service.

I signed up for it and have gotten 2 voicemails. So far, the transcription is about 85% accurate. This looks like its going to be very useful – especially if you can’t always answer your phone on a bus/subway/meeting.

So far this works pretty good…Lots of extra features and so far it has taken about the same time to receive notification of a new voicemail as standard at&t voicemail service.

I’d be interested to see how this works out long-term. I tried out a third-party vm solution for my phone and it was a disaster – it would take at least 10 minutes to learn that a new vm was waiting. If this is better, that might work out well for me.
