Is this feature common?

Is incoming voice slow down (to hear fast messages or rapidly spoken telephone numbers etc) a common feature of cell phones?

There is a phone I'm interested in which has this.

Thanks.

Nope never heard of that to be honest, but sounds rather nifty....When my crack dealer calls after a few hits he normally likes to ramble rather fast, this feature would prove invaluable at such times

It could easily be a feature of the actual voicemail system. I've used this before.

I've found that people sometimes run through telephone numbers or other numbers or street names very fast in voice mail messages, so you end up having to listen a few times to the message especially if the ambient noise around you (and around them) is great. It's a feature of the Sharp 923sh
(together with GPS, accellerometers, high res screen, 3.5G etc) and since this phone will debut in Taiwan early next year I may just import it.

I totally agree with you here, I have had voice mails where I just can't get what they are saying which can be rather annoying. I actually believe I would use a feature like this.

On Vodacom if you press 4 while listening to the message, it slows the message down.

(Pressing 4 after the end of the message repeats the message)

Would it not be network dependent rather than the actual phone?

Would be darn impressive if the handset could actually slow it down?
But how?
Does it slow the feed of incoming data from the tower?

EDIT: and yes it would be very handy indeed.
