As if the city of Phoenix didn’t have enough going on with the Super Bowl last weekend, the town was also busy throwing the biggest party / golf tournament on the PGA Tour - the FBR Open.  Over 4 days more than 500,000 went through the gates.

Now technically, you cannot bring phones into the event.  If you are caught talking on your phone, you can have the device confiscated - or worse.  Plus, since everyone had to have the ringers turned off, it made it nearly impossible to get incoming calls.  And with 170,000 people at the event Saturday, getting separated from your friends created real logistical nightmares.

So the GotVoice Voicemail to Text functionality was a real lifesaver.  Rather than having to listen to a long line of voicemails from people trying to find us, we could just look down and see the message.   Very useful.  And no cell phones were confiscated in the process.
