		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve been using / testing Ribbit Mobile for the past day and I have to say it is nothing like Google Voice and not a competitor at all.

It&#039;s really just a voice mail aggregation and call redirection system.  It also let&#039;s you dial out on your computer via a headset just like Skype.

So in reality, this is just another &quot;voice mail aggregation&quot; tool.  The problem here is it only gets your missed calls from your mobile and redirects them to Ribbit, where you can redirect them to another phone number, service, or get a transcribed voice mail message.

The GUI is a little clunky, it&#039;s clean and nice but the interface buttons are not intuitive...you end up opening a lot of layers that don&#039;t seem to work with what you&#039;re trying to do (like close a voice mail player) and stuff like that.

Value:  voice mail redirection, headset calling from the computer, low value propositions compared to Google Voice.

In all I don&#039;t see anyone paying $20-$30 for a voice mail aggregation and redirection service.  It is silly and not very good if it only works with your mobile.

The headset dialing is unimpressive -- there&#039;s a million of those out there and they all have rate charts posted and very low cost.   So really this is nothing like Google voice which gives you a totally new phone number to do with what you wish and centralizes things around a new phone number.]]></description>
