Situation: You Schedule Time to Return Messages OR Want Mobile Team Alerts

Everyone has their own way of dealing with the tremendous volume of messages we receive every day.  Many succumb to a demand-driven lifestyle, constantly checking voicemail, email, etc. - and responding as soon as they come in.  Others like to shut out the noise and focus on the task in front of them until a particular time of day that they allocate to returning messages.  Got Voice is a free service for those in that last group.  The service grabs voice messages off of your cell phone and drops them into your email (you actually play back the voice recording).  That way you can go through everything at once.

Perhaps a more useful feature of the service allows you to create voice mail groups.  This means you can send a voice mail to your entire team without their phones ever ringing.  Like a text message (SMS), but easier on both ends.  You get rid of the awkward typing thing and take a step out of the process by sending to the group vs. checking off each person on the list.  Think about any situation where you would normally send an email out, but need EVERYONE to get it right away vs. when they read their email.  It could really come in handy in certain situations.
