That's an excellent idea!! Unfortunately I haven't heard/seen anything about such a feature even being discussed or rumored. 
I am wondering if Verizon Wireless will introduce the ability to listen to your voicemail by way of your computer. I know of some services that are already doing it; having this feature would give Verizon Wireless customers the option of listening to their voicemail either by way of cell phone (*86) or by way of computer through logging in to the account. Moreover, having the ability to listen to voicemail via the computer allows one to archive voicemail messages locally; when I had Verizon landline service with voicemail (until recently) I can log in to my account and listen to and archive my voicemails when needed.
Having the ability to listen to your Verizon Wireless voicemail on your computer in addition to retrieving your voicemail on the cell phone would be a great asset.
I just spent 20 mins on the phone with verizon to ask them if I could download/save my voicemails from somewhere and there response was:
Call: 1-800-770-8047 (Archive Files)
1-3 messages on CD for $18.99
1 message as .mp3 $5.00
Paying for something that I am already hear for free??? They say it is because the out source this service to a 3rd Party company.
My solution that worked ok:
Plug in a Microphone to a jack (on my hp laptop it is on the front)
Click Start --> All Programs --> Accessories
On Vista click Sound Recorder
On XP click Entertainment --> Sound Recorder
Put phone speaker near microphone
Click Start Recording
Play voicemail
Click Stop Recording
Save the file on your computer to something that you will remember. It should save the file in your Documents folder.
