Dear folks at Got Voice,

Quick story for you. My Aunt called and left me a message a few weeks ago. She said she wanted some book from Pope John Paul II for Christmas. I mentally noted it. “Pope John Paul. Book. Got it.”

Then about a week later I went to Amazon and looked for books by Pope John Paul II. Did you know he wrote a ton of them? I didn’t. Uh-oh. Which one did she want? It’s not like I could go and call her back.

Then I remembered that the voicemail was probably archived in my Google mail A couple of quick searches later, text of my aunt’s voicemail was on my screen, and I was one Copy and Paste from buying the present. Thanks for helping me out this year. I’m telling everyone I know this story.

This may be the funniest comment we’ve gotten in a while…

Dear GotVoice - Thank you, thank you thank you.  My landlord is a psychopath.  Not crazy, not nutty, not eclectic.  But a certified loony bird.  Furthermore, she refuses to use email.  So when she calls to tell me something one day, invariably it means the opposite in the future and I previously HAD no way to deal with this.  But now, thanks to you guys, I just let her leave wandering, quixotic messages for me on my voicemail.  Then when she reverses field, I can print out the text transcription of what she said and replay the message from my archive. Now, she’s stopped calling me altogether and life couldn’t be more grand.  Thank you for helping purge some crazy from my life.”
