Hi James You are certainly correct to some extent . These type of features ARE useful . I myself would like to use them. But why are you segregating these voice features with web/email/WAP?? To be more specific using WAP, we can easily incorporate these features in today's cellular phone. Rember , in WAP we have some thing called the WTAI ( Wireless Telephony Application Interface ) that provides services like auto call back, voice mail etc to mobile handset via concept of WTA Server. Internet has the power to be available to us any time anywhere , and we should use this facility as effectively as possible either via wireline links or Wireless cheers Aditya "James P.
