IM and over a telephone? I don't voicemail so I don't use it on my phone or to leave a message - to me a phone is for voice communication. With ViOP or a normal phone there's a link between the two phones, but for IM I have to go through the IM server involved, adding an extra link; plus I got to have some annoying IM program up and running instead of just picking up the phone.
