I don't have voicemail as part of my service agreement for a few reasons, but primarily because I object to being charged extra fees for what is (from my provider at least), an incredibly limited and cumbersome voicemail offering. It's the principle of it, I suppose.

Anyway, it occurred to me that a device like the N900 should be perfectly capable of running a basic voicemail app, which would mean that not only could I object to being overcharged for basic features, but I could actually receive messages

It would only need a tiny fraction of the features of something like Asterisk, for example to be an incredibly cool and useful app..

Unfortunately, I don't have any programming skills whatsoever, so I'm appealing to the geniuses in the Maemo community to make it happen

Anyone else interested in something like this?
