CallWave announced a free, PC-based visual voicemail service that makes mobile phone voicemail more convenient and accessible. The new CallWave Mobile service with visual voicemail sends a copy of mobile phone voicemail messages to users' email - enabling them to sort and prioritize, listen and respond to messages, all from their email inbox.

CallWave Mobile with visual voicemail allows to manage mobile phone voicemail whenever they want - without downloading software, switching service providers, purchasing a new handset or changing their mobile phone number. When not at the PC, users are notified of mobile voicemail messages via a detailed SMS sent to the handset. Users can then access messages the traditional way, by dialing into their mobile phone's voicemail system.

"CallWave's visual voicemail leverages the power of the PC to manage tasks that are difficult to do on a mobile phone's small interface and makes them easier to do on the desktop," said David Hofstatter, Chief Executive Officer for CallWave. "Individuals and businesses can more easily access and manage their voicemail and interact with their calling communities in ways never before thought possible."

CallWave Mobile with visual voicemail gives users the ability to see and prioritize messages from their email, as caller names and message lengths are included in the message subject line. Users can then listen to messages in any order, by simply opening an email. From here, users can pause, replay, save, delete or reply to the caller, via text or callback - all from their PC. For added convenience, CallWave Mobile automatically creates a PC-based contact list.

"While the mobile phone is one of the most relied upon devices on the market, it's often time-consuming and cumbersome to wade through voicemails. With CallWave Mobile, it's possible to see your voicemail, choosing to listen and respond to key voicemails - with just a few clicks. More than convenient, this service reinvents how people feel about their phone, contacts and voicemail," continued Hofstatter.

CallWave Mobile is currently available on popular service providers, including T-Mobile, Cingular and Verizon. Users can sign up for the service here.
