YOUMAIL is awesome ok not awesome, to register go to http://www.youmail.com/home/index.do and it is free!!!!!!!! but it will use ur text message plan...

is not as handy as visual voice mail, but some other features help...
just installed and it seems to work fine, i like the text message with the persons name,time, account location,provider, phone number and duration of the voice mail. also a link to go online and listen to it, from the G1 it will open your browser and you download it as a music, you can use it as a ringtone too, also once you have added a contact to your list when that person call you and it goes to the voice mail it will greet the caller by his or her name and you can customize any contact with a different greeting so there is no need to use same greeting for everybody(nice) you can import all your contacts from basically any account:
