So a couple days a go I received my invite to BT owned Ribbit Moblile, I must of requested an invite quite some time ago because the service had fallen of my radar. Its an interesting service which was quite painless to set up. It essentially replaces your phone providers voicemail system which Ribbit then allows you route the ‘missed call’ to different places such as Skype, another phone, voip phone etc…

Due to it being in limited beta, Ribbit are offering the pro account for free when you manage to get an invite which means you get a ton of awesome stuff.

The one which is the big draw is free phone calls to US and UK numbers through their dashboard, but it also can transcribe your voicmail message, email you when you get missed calls ( Excellant when your phone is off or not near you ) and it can even send you the mp3 of the voicemail if someone leaves you one.

Im sure my grandpa wont mind me using his message to me as an example but apart from spelling my name wrong it was and continues to be pretty accurate at transcribing my messages to me and emailing my messages to me

Anyways, just a short one to say that If your in the UK and want the same kind of features that Google Voice are offering I would jump over to Ribbit and reserve an account as although still very beta, Ribbit are certainly pushing the limits of what ‘Silicons first phone company’ can do.
