The typical business card today contains upwards of three contact numbers. There's a company number, direct office number, mobile phone number, and fax number, not to mention email address. All these contact options aim to increase accessibility, yet can present new challenges in trying to manage these different mailboxes. You check your office voicemail messages, only to miss an important message left on your cell phone. Wasn't technology supposed to simplify things? New applications and services have been designed to centralize and consolidate different mailboxes and communication technologies. It's called unified messaging, but essentially it's a personal agent for the individual user. It minimizes the number of places where you need to check for incoming voicemail, faxes, and email, and provides the flexibility to check voice mail messages in whatever way is most convenient. You can manage all messages from any location at any time via laptop, PDA, cellular phone, or landline phone. This means you can check all message types from a single interface.
