DoCoMo to launch video voicemail

NTT DoCoMo announced yesterday that they're to launch a video voicemail service on September 20. 68 of its 3G FOMA handsets support the service; if you are making a videophone call and get redirected to voicemail you will now have the option to follow onscreen prompts and leave a video message, of up to 3 mins in length. SMS is used to inform you of waiting messages.
