I don't remember who pointed me to this site .... but I was looking for this already quite some time: a service where I can dial to, which records my voice message, and which sends the voice message back to me!
I have been using drop.io for quite some time (works nice, but you need to dial to a USA phone number !!!) (drop.io is really much more than a voice recorder .... it is an online storage place which is extremely easy to set-up and use !)
The advantage of Dial2Do is that it has an access point in Brussels.
drop.io drops your voice message into your RSS reader (it generates an RSS feed to the drop.io site), while Dial2Do notifies you with an email (the voice message is not attached to the email: you get a link to their site).
The way Dial2Do works: you register on Dial2Do (user-id, email address AND telephone number), and then you can dial the Brussels telephone number, Dial2Do recognizes your telephone number (Caller-ID should be on !!!), asks what you want to do, you say "reminder", the system acknowledges ... and off you go: you record your voice message, you disconnect, and the message is sent to your email address!
Quickly and easy: no voice recorder to drag along ... just your good old mobile phone (SPOI: Single Point of Interface?)
Do note that Dial2Do also let's you send text messages, and emails (I however did not yet try it out, so I cannot tell how well it works ... these options heavily rely on transcription)
Nice and free software !

Hi Arnold,
Just came across your blog post about DialDo - glad you like it (I head up the engineering team). Did you know you can get an RSS feed of your messages on Dial2Do too (in case that's how you'd like to consume them?). Just go to the "my activities" tab and click on the RSS logo for the messages you want. We even embed a link to the mp3 in the RSS, so if you put it on your netvibes page, you can listen to the audio without leaving the page! Anyway, hope you continue to get good use from the site, and if you have any feedback, do let us know (you know we have a suggestion service where you can ring and record your feedback).
Good luck,
Alan
