You just put into words exactly what I've been contemplating over the
last few weeks.  All voicemail systems have pretty much the same set of
functions, just different keys to access them.  Wouldn't it be great if
we could configure the voicemail menus and prompts?  If ever I find time
again (my 2-wk old son is my newest "project"), I'll take a look at the
sources and see what it would take.

Then we could have "skins" to emulate our fave voicemail systems... Meridian...
Ericson... etc.


Making digit X do function Y would be easy enough, but there are also some
fine points that could be considered-- for example, to delete a message you're listening to:


On meridian VM, pressing "76" during message playback erases the message and
advances to the next message.  7 = message options, 6 = delete message.

On Comedian mail, pressing a key (like 7) advances to the end of the message.
You must then hit the key to delete the message again.


On AT&T cell phone VM, you can't skip past a message PERIOD. Burn your
minutes until the message is finished, then press 7. I'm sure some corporate
business school type figured out that extra revenues generated by a retarded
voicemail system exceeded the revenue lost by ticking off users...


But this sounds like a great idea, switching between systems is beginning
to make my head hurt!
