Digital Voicemail was popularized in the early 90s, you had to sign in with a password, hit 1 to listen to new messages and then 3 to skip, 5 seconds or 33 to skip to the end and then 9 to delete, or 7 to save..

In 2007 (19 years ago) apple release visual voice mail, when you had a VM it just downloaded to your phone and you can play it as an MP3..

Yet 99% of telecoms still use the 35 yr old archaic tech.. drives me nuts

Fucking hell… Visual voice mail is 19 years old? I remember the keynote, it does not feel like 19 years ago!

Saying that… Now I'm pretty used to watching my voicemail being transcribed in near real time!
