I actually think it would be a great value add to compliment the service provided, although not sure I would be willing to pay any extra for it. I do not need transcription service (although I do enjoy Google Voice when they get it right), but visual voicemail would be nice and with an app for both Android and iPhone very easy to check.
The current voicemail system just works which is great, but I guess I assume a VoIP voicemail system should be more feature rich than a traditional Bell system voicemail (.wav file aside).
Exactly my thoughts.
I'd love transcription, but I'm not willing to pay for that either. I'm cheap!
The visual voice mail app would make it worthwhile to me, but since they don't have an app for Windows Mobile I wouldn't use it.
As a previous poster said, if it ain't broke...
It looks kind of cool. I'll have to try it sometime. I am using Google Voice for my voicemail and it works good for me. Either that or my Asterisk server voicemail that will email me an attachment when I get a voicemail.
Speaking of GV... We've though about adding an option mainly for it where you could set an alternate destination number for voicemail.
So then the system would function normally but anytime something would trigger VM, it could use the alternate number instead if set so could go to GV or whatever.
Is this something you guys would use?
It would be nice to have the GV option.

VOIPo is a keeper!
It would be nice to be able to take advantage of the GV transcription feature (or some similar *free* service). I have a GV account and have thought about forwarding unanswered calls to my VOIPo number there for VM/transcription handling. However, while this would still allow me to get VM via email (audio &| text), the MWI light on our phones would no longer be useful, since the VM would not be stored in VOIPo's system. That's really the deal killer for me. We (esp my wife) rely on seeing the MWI light to know that messages are waiting.
