... turns out to be pretty easy
- get a free account on Nexiwave
- set an extension to send voice mail to your nexiwave address ([email protected])
- and that's it (voicemail mp3 files plus transcript get sent to the address you registered with)
The hard bit was getting postfix to relay through gmail, as gmail requires TLS.
Nexiwave has an API. Ran across it while building a GoogleScript that uses the Google TTS API. But AFAICT the Google API is undocumented, meaning it could disappear tomorrow - and the Nexiwave setup was dead easy.
Note to Ward: please consider pre-installing and configuring postfix on future incrediblepi builds (let users just add gmail username and password). I'm guessing there'll be a bunch of folks looking to replicate what GVoice does on RasPi and BeagleBone boxes in a couple of months.
