Skype Voicemail
IT Chapters April 4th, 2006Unless I’m very much mistaken, it looks as if Skype is going to be launching voicemail as a free service across all accounts. I was looking at my contact list today and ALL of my contacts have voicemail activated. I double checked this and most of them haven’t paid for it or have even paid Skype anything.
My account page still states that my voicemail will expire, but something is up.
Drop a comment and let me know if you’re seeing the same thing.
***UPDATE***
As Jaanus says in the comments, if you’ve paid for voicemail, Skype allows you to send other non-paying Skype accounts voicemail. Thats pretty cool.

Hi - Skype Voicemail actually works if either the sender or the receiver have it. So if you have Skype Voicemail, it will show the icon for all of your contacts and you can leve them Voicemail and they can leave it to you, even if they don’t have Skype Voicemail themselves.

I am not seeing the same thing. If my contacts are offline they are offline.

Thanks Jaanus, thats a pretty cool feature. How come you don’t promote it?
