Like any other traditional voice mail system, Ribbit provides an access number to dial in to voicemail from any PSTN number.
While strolling the halls at FITC, I caught up with Steve Griffith who is a Professor in the Multimedia Department at Algonquin College (in Ottawa) and was pleasantly surprised to hear he showcased the Ribbit API to his students this past semester.
