Voicemail

[wibble]

I would like to see an App for on the phone Voicemail, -- and leave the carrier out of the voicemail loop.

Back in the openmoko days people did this with asterisk, but that route needed all the telephony to run through asterisk - the 'phone' app would be a SIP client rather than accessing the modem. I'm not sure there's a suitable asterisk channel - we could do with something like chan_modemmanager which I don't think exists. There's chan_domgle for some Huawei USB devices, and chan_mobile for bluetooth connections. but neither are quite what we's need.

It's probably easier to add an auto-answer and recording capability to the phone app.

Of course this won't help if your phone is off, or you've got no signal - in that case only the carrier is in a position to record voicemail.
