This article was proposed for deletion December 2004. The discussion is archived at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Voice Mail.

Revision proposed by Bob Cohn

Hi, I received an email from Bob Cohn suggesting the following version. He's edited the complete article in a word doc and sent it over email. Since, this would be a massive change. I leave it here for a while before moving it in parts to the article. From the text, it appears that he was an early player in the development of Voicemail. I've asked him for references to this effect. -- Sundar ^{\talk \contribs} 09:59, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Since noone objected, I made a rewrite from his version. Feel free to take more parts from that and add to the main article. He's licensed the whole of the content under GFDL. I have the whole article in doc format which I can email to anyone who'd like to work on the article. -- Sundar ^{\talk \contribs} 12:53, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Size

I reverted an anon who removed much content. It IS large, but without some mention of intention and some discussion, the deletions seemed inappropriate. (John User:Jwy talk) 14:46, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Active Voice

I'm hesitant to jump in and edit this because of WP:AUTO, but it seems to me that Active Voice [1] belongs in the history here, too. One of the leading players in PC-based voicemail (and we mention AVT and AVST, which I believe were never as large); the original Active Voice Corp. was bought out by Cisco in late 2000 (which is how Cisco got into unified messaging); Cisco sold back part of it (and the name) to its own management, who then reorganized as Active Voice LLC, which was, less than a year later, sold to NEC America, where it remains a wholly owned subsidiary. (I was an employee for some years at AV Corp. and have done contract work for AVLLC - indeed, I'm finishing a project for them at the moment - hence the WP:AUTO concern.) - Jmabel | Talk 23:02, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
