IMHO the issue on UM's is state. Scott Bradner would tell me I should be able to use a cookie to when voice mail is left behind. I dont have to poll and in theory the presentity of my voice mail box could be marked available, once. More on Jeff's Blog. Kind Regards, carl Alec,

For a free service, even small PSTN charges are an expense. Even if they’re not paying for wireless minutes (which I agree, is unlikely), they’re still going to be paying for PSTN charges.

Do you mean wireless network charges? As far as I can see, they can poll my (generally Octel, or some Lucent derivative) box via PSTN provided I give them my PIN, so they shouldn't incur network charges (negligable if any) Your point isn't lost, I agree with you. If carriers operated on platforms VXML/SIP etc., and didn't rely on proprietary messaging gear, they would be open to third party solutions for a variety of vendors ie: LD deregulation, it woudl actually increase revenue in the long term and create partners rather than competitors. “which is workable but will incur network charges to poll and retrieve the voice mails.”
