I merely, clicked the link on your site. I'm sure there must have been some calculations done on number of voice mails left etc. I'd think for some businesses that are voice mail centric while the user is text centric may have some applications. However, for that audience I'd see this become expensive quickly. I'm sure the negotiation with carriers is complex. I'd suggest you look at doing a deal with Truphone and enabling this for free for a period... so I get both my voice mail and the translated text. It would provide a low cost test and enable many to understand the uses and the stories I think are valuable. I am still waiting to test the blog capability. Perhaps I can learn to dictate more accurately. I remain curious, although think the fee structure is currently a killer. Cheers Stuart Greg,

The $9.99 price you cite in your post is just one pricing option of many. For this price, Cincinnati Bell subscribers are entitled to receive 55 voice messages converted to text. But there are other options at other price ranges. For example, for $4.99 a Cincinnati Bell subscriber can get 25 messages converted. And in Canada, SaskTel not only offers similar types of packages, but also the opportunity to pay-per-message, charged at $.40 per converted voicemail. Each carrier determines their own pricing scheme, but its important to point out that there are several options at different price points and $9.99 a month is just one of many.
