You see your voicemails like SMS messages, threaded, and you can listen to any message in any order iirc

You have been able to receive your voicemails as an SMS for over a year now. Its a VAS product that you can add via vodacom4me. I activated it earlier this month and it has to be the most useful feature in a long time. Sitting in an all day meeting and keeping track of all the voicemails without ever leaving the meeting :)

Apparently this does matter. You need to use the iphone APN.

When I got my iPhone I found that I couldn't use the iphone apn until I enabled it in the services section of the vodacom4me website. After I enabled it it took a couple of hours to start working. Not sure if this is still required/possible but maybe worth checking out.
