Examples of VoIP Data Applications
Martin Geddes talks about an telephony industry mag called Receiver (sponsored by Vodafone). In his write up, he speculates on the idea of your voicemail being able to distinguish who a call is from, giving different people a different message.
Of course, if you've followed any of the recent posts here about data applications being where VoIP could really shine, you know that it's more than possible - probably already available. (I'm still looking).
In fact, since VoIP-based CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software can presumably retrieve customer records based on who is calling, I can't see why Martin's idea can't be implemented. That means you could have a single VoIP call-in number, usable on a Wi-Fi phone, to conduct all your conversations, business or pleasure.
Of course, in the scenario Martin was talking about, nightclubbing, you'd need widespread Municipal Wi-Fi if VoIP was to be in the equation.
