"but the phone companies would lose an easy revenue source"
Good luck convincing them to do it then! |
|

No so: the phone companies don't make the handsets. |
|

However, the bigger issue is why the calls were missed. If it's because the phone was switched off, out of range, or on another call, then the messages won't reach the handset in the first place. |

No, but they buy them, and pass them on for massively subsidised prices!
Why would the phone manufactuters make phones that cost their customers (the networks) money? |

//[calling] the message bank centre ... costs $$$//
Not on any U.S. mobile carrier that I am aware of. I'm guessing you live in the U.K.? |

If he lived in the UK, it wouldn't cost $$$! |

if your voice mail could be downloaded then this would be useful, besides a lot of phones these days have reasonable amounts of memory on them. |
