Voicemail suggestion

I wonder if the following is doable:

Is it possible to code the zone by phone thingie and the website in such a way that it would be possible for a user to retrieve his/her voicemail from Zone By Phone simply by logging into the Zone Website?
I am asking this because currently I don't have international calling enabled on my mobile phone account, and don't really want to do this, only to retrieve my voicemails.
If this is going to be a bit hard to code, I understand and then I don't have any choice of course.

Laters.

That would be a nice feature if a user could then maybe download and save a voicemail rather than having to save it on the system taking up resources from the server.

not to mention that some of us don't have long distance on our phones.

good idea even though I don't have a voice mail box.

Actually, everyone still has one for now.

So, Admin, is what I suggested in post 1, possible?

Also, while there still appears to be a problem with recording a vm of any length on the UK number we continue to use the US and Canadian ones for now, but this has shown another issue.
The system seems very sensative and will interupt recording, so we either send several part messages to make up what we wanted, or we rerecord every couple of minutes until our resulting vm beginns with a few explitives.
So, is there a chance that a resume feature could be added please? we could then review if necesary what was interupted, and add to it, instead of sending 3 messages.

Could it be possible to record MSGs right from the site?

for that matter how about being able to downoad them from the site.

My initial suggestion was that voice messages on Zone by Phone, be available to download from the website itself.
Don't want to moan, but it's quite costly calling from here to the UK or US, and if I could download my voice messages from the website, that would save on costs much.
Unless of course, if Zone by Phone were to be expanded to South Africa as well?
Don't know how economically viable that is though.
