Hi all.
I just got the skype voice mail. I found out how to record my own greeting, how to change voice mail settings such as after how many seconds a unanswered call is going to go through the voice mail but something i don't know how to do which is the most useful is how to listen to my messages.
So can anyone help me please? I have got the latest version.
Thanks
Nikos

If you're using jaws and the latest skype scripts, press control+shift+3 to enter the history tab, find the voice mail you want to hear, right click and choose play.
You can do this without scripts, but it's going to be a lot harder.

Hi again.
Something strange i found is that if i right click on any of my contacts regardless if they have got or not voice mail i have got the option of sending them a message and if i choose this option i get this voice saying this person is not available and i can record a message. But what's the point in that? If they didn't buy voice mail how are they going to listen? I find it strange.
Can anyone explain please?

You can still receive voice mail from people even if you haven't paid for the service yourself, but that's as far as it goes.
