This is rather interesting, but why do I suspect it's just an
invitation to large volumes of voice spam?

***** Moderator's Note *****
According to the article, this service offers callers a chance to
leave a message on a cellular user's voice mail without risking
actually talking to the person who owns the cellphone. However, before
they can "bypass" the cellular user, callers must listen to an ad
before they're allowed to leave a message: in other words, those who
use the service can be _positive_ that they're wasting their time,
instead of taking the chance that the cell-phone owner _might_ waste
their time. Seems like a self-limiting paradigm.
