Vodafone Portugal is now offering a first for their 5 million mobile phone users with the first visual voicemail service for the iPhone. Powered by Comverse, this special service originally started in March and provides subscribers a better way to communicate with their family and friends via voicemailtechnology. No more typing needed. Simply retrieve the message, select (if multiple) and then listen. Messaging and communication just became a whole lot dramatic and easier for the iPhone users over at Portugal!

Even with the standard mobile services we have today, voice mail options are included if we subscribe to them. Apparently, the people from Hong Kong have found something different to offer and this is the visual voicemail service that is now being offered by 3 Hong Kong.

Instead of dialing in for voice messages, users can see information about each voicemail in a message inbox, such as sender, time of call and message length and then click and listen to any message. Users also can delete and reply to any message.

The adjustments seems to be minor but compared to the conventional way of retrieving voice mails, this seems better since they are similar to receiving the usual SMS messages. Unfortunately Hong Kong is the only country that has offered this service for now although expect other countries to try and do the same soon.
