I have an answering machine because I want to screen my calls. I wish I could use the phone companies voicemail in a way that by answering the phone I could press a button to listen to a person as they leave voicemail and then pick up if I want mid message. Caller ID doesn't work well in my experience since al the people I don't want to talk to have their number blocked.

I like your idea but I would like to take it an addtional step foward where I can set my phone like a AOL or yahoo messanger where I Can have a different buddy list have diffrent axes right and I can choose to ignor if I am not intrestred. ex: I should be able to define a family buddy list of phone numbers and after 11PM only the family buddy list will ring
