1. A method of providing voicemail to a mobile telephone, in which a caller initiates a voice call to the mobile telephone, but that call is diverted to a voicemail server, with the caller then leaving a voice message on the voicemail server; the method comprising the steps of: (a) converting the voice message to an audio file format; (b) sending or streaming the audio file to a voice to text transcription system comprising at least one computer adapted to play back the voice message to an operator to enable the operator to intelligently transcribe the original voice message into the computer to generate a transcribed text message; (c) sending the transcribed text message to the mobile telephone; and in which the transcribed text message includes a unique identification that links the text message to the voice message held at the voicemail server, to allow that voice message to be played back to the mobile telephone when an end-user of the mobile telephone selects or uses the unique identification.
