skype voicemail

I use a combination of Skype and GoogleVoice. This provides for a full
business solution in many cases (like having your own virtual PBX).
Particularly in cases like mine where I am frequently very remote from
civilization.

The public number that I hand out is of course the Google one, which
points at the Skype - which runs with bots (when I am offline) or on my
iPod/laptop. GV adds a surprising number of useful features to any phone
connection, such as dynamic call forwarding and messaging based on
caller source and time of day (and more). This did require an "answer
back" response to the GV initialization call - so, you may still need to
futz a bit for this to work for you. What country are you in that does
not have Skype-in numbers available? There may be other SIP providers
that could help, depending on where you are.
