While it is not iPhone visual voice mail or the visual voice mail on the soon to be released Samsung Instinct, free has a price. YouMail is a web-based visual voicemail service that is available to anyone with a smartphone. Once you create a YouMail account you will be able to access voicemail via email, on the web or over the phone. The service also provides transcripts of voicemails via email or text messages which brings the fruits of voice to text services combined with visual voicemail for a nifty little package.

YouMail currently works on most smartphones, including BlackBerrry, Palm, Windows Mobile and Nokia S60 devices.  If the free price tag is a little too much to bear, we really can’t help you here, but we would recommend taking a peek because this could be the next ‘it’ service.  Hop on over to youmail.com for additional details and to sign up with a free account.
