“Weeding through voice-mail can be deeply tedious.” Two new sites offer faster ways to get the message.
Grandcentral.com is a “free and feature-filled” service from Google that lets you view voice messages as if they were e-mails. Listen to them via the Web interface, sort them in any order you like, and save them forever, if you prefer. You can also block phone numbers, route calls to multiple phones, and even “listen in live as callers leave messages.”
