Just wondering really. I have made a site for my mate (for his band). I thought that a great page for the site would be to sing down the phone. I remembered that ages ago i had a YAC number (www.yac.com) and one of the features of this number was that people could leave voicemail and then their message gets sent to your email address.

I have just re-registered a new number for this and phoned it for a test - the message sent to me had a 38k WAV file with 17 seconds of me with the phone to the TV.

Does anyone think this is a good idea for a page on the site? Has it been done before?

And more importantly is there any legal aspects to doing this? Is there a chance that YAC would think that this is abusing the service?

Has been done before (did a system myself where the files appeared onsite instantly), I shouldn't think they would care as don't those numbers cost a fair amount to call in the first instance? Would demand be that high? What would people get out of calling in?

Would you be willing to tell me how you didi this?
