Noticed that the voicemail wav files are quite large (compared to other voip software)Which is going to cost $ on data service plans on mobile devices like blackberry's and Q's. Can this be compressed some more or a MP3 option

thanks parker

I Agree. the voice mail size issue is a problem for me too. Is this a feature we can look forward to in the next release?

I'd agree with this. Not only for data downloads on these mobile devices but also for mailbox management. Users have enough of a problem cleaning out their email. Now they have to clean out voicemails. I know it's an option but having smaller wavs or MP3's would be great.

What compression can you use to make it smaller without loosing voice quality? Currently they are 16 bit, 128kpbs.

48kbps is more than enough for voice, even 32kbps should be fine,
Maybe the aac format will be better. More and more mobile devices support it. AAC's quality is better than MP3 on the same data rate
