I have been using SpinVox for a couple of months now. It’s one of those “never look back” type of services. If you’re an email junkie, and find voice mail messages as annoying as I do, then SpinVox is for you. I’ve also heard Simulscribe is great, but I haven’t tried it. These services both translate your voice mails into email, which is very convenient.

Except that today, as I was processing my Junk Mail folder, I noticed a two week old voice mail message!

My spam filter caught the translated message as SPAM, so I never heard it. I never actually listen to the voice mails anymore, since I know they end up in my inbox anyway.

Obviously, the solution is to remember to whitelist the SpinVox email address.

It’s kinda fun to discover whole new categories of “gotchas” when you use cool new services like these.
