Hi there - I was wondering if any of you guys knew of a way to automate emailing voicemails to myself or copying their MP3 file to Notes or whatever. I love not having to have my phone on me in order to receive calls on my other devices, but the one big thing that's missing for me is the ability to listen to voicemails on these other devices, as I screen a lot of spam calls. I know you can now export voicemails to Notes or to an email, but I'm looking for a way to do that automatically whenever a new voicemail is received. If there's any way to do this, I'd love to know! Thanks!

It almost seems like that would be something that would need to be supported by the voicemail provider. I know that for alternative voicemail providers, like Google Voice or YouMail for example, you can set things up so that the voicemails are emailed to you (just the voicemail itself, the transcription of it, or both), and you can use the apps and/or websites for those services to see, listen to, and manage your voicemails as well.

Ah, thanks for your reply. I was afraid of that! I hope Apple gives us a way to access voicemails from other devices...it really would complete having the ability to take phone calls on other devices just right. Maybe Siri transcription is a step in that direction.
