Has anyone tried this?
http://phone.yahoo.com

I gave it a whirl (1-800-MY-YAHOO), and it was pretty cool! It read me my email messages in that weird Stephen Hawking robotic voice, but it was still cool. Mostly understandable, but not totally. The mailbox was under construction at times as well, too.

The voicemail, however, was great. People using this service can send voicemail messages back and forth - just as clear as any phone, and instant.

The coolest part is when I sent my a voicemail message, refreshed my Yahoo! Mail page to see the new message listed there right away! Better yet: I listened to it over the phone, hit refresh, and it was listed as read right away! :)

Wow, that sounds nice!

I bet it's only for US residents though :(

I really don't know, but I'm not sure. It's a 1-800 number, so that may not be the case.

Anyone else tried it? It seems it still has a bug or two (won't read me ALL of my mail for some reason), but it's still dang cool.
