VMSave has made over 10,000 calls

1 min read

VMSave has made over 10,000 total calls as of yesterday. That's an astounding number to me. Originally VMSave was a tiny ruby script that I made to save my wife's mom's outgoing voicemail message. With her encouragement I made it into a full-fledged service. I never thought it would get this big, and yet here we are.

Here's some stats:

8,690 completed recordings
5,363 emails sent
41,432 minutes of call time
$3,616 in donations to keep the service running
Dozens of emails and hand written letters

I built VMSave to help people process their grief. Based on the feedback I’ve received and the numbers above, I think it’s worked.
