Another line bites the dust\u2014OOPS!<\/p>\n

Over the holidays, I lost another voicemail line, and I won’t be getting another one, at least, not yet. It’s too much hassle for me to make sure it\u2019s rung every 30 days, and there are no other free options that I\u2019m aware of (Google Voice numbers aren’t available in New Zealand). The only other option I’ve been able to find so far is a Skype Number, which costs US$30, but I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s a year or a shorter term (apparently, the only way to find out how much it costs is to sign up for one).<\/p>\n

So, for now, at least, I have a few options for you. First, you can leave an audio message at the right side of this site, using that SpeakPipe widget. Or, you can leave me an AudioBoo message<\/a>. You can also leave me a voicemail on Skype (username, surprisingly enough, is amerinz; however, I don\u2019t know if you have to be on my contacts list first). Finally, you can record an audio message and email it to me. For some of those options, you can use a smartphone app to send me a message, but the SpeakPipe option isn\u2019t available on Apple products (because it\u2019s Flash-based). Actually, you could also ring the voicemail line for 2Political Podcast (206-350-3982), because those messages come to me.<\/p>\n

I think I\u2019d like to move away from a voicemail phone number, anyway, because it\u2019s very limiting, even when it\u2019s free: Most of my listeners are in the USA, so having a number there makes sense\u2014but that can make it expensive for people in other countries to leave messages. With the spread of smartphones, I think other options are the way to go. At the very least, I’m going to be promoting options that don’t require phoning the USA.<\/p>\n

This is all a work in progress\u2014when is it ever anything else?\u2014but for now, these are the options. I\u2019ll post more here, and mention it in the podcast, as things progress.<\/p>\n

And, of course, you can always leave a written comment here on the site, or you can send me a Tweet, etc.<\/p>\n

Thanks! New episodes will be out soon!<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"reddit\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
