Author Using YOUMAIL to REPLACE Verizon voicemail - anyone doing it? Quality? Reliability?

David Pogue of the NY Times has written about YouMail.com, a free service which can replace Verizon's voicemail. Switching gains
additional features:

- can save voicemail messages
- can forward voicemails by email
- can send emails to notify of new voicemails (with or without the actual audio included in the email)
- adds ability to listen to voicemails on web (w/o using minutes, I think)
- customize OGM greetings for callers based on caller IDs
- can upload OGMs as WAVs in addition to recording by phone
- access & control voicemail account from the web in addition to the phone
- delete specified voicemails in the web interface as well as by phone
- view full incoming call history on web (including when no message was left)
- identify callers who just hung up w/o leaving a message
- "DitchMail", a feature that blocks certain callers from leaving voicemails at all


Has anyone used this? Does it work as advertised? Audio quality as good as the stock vm? Bugs?

If this has been covered here, I apologize...please point me to the thread.
