I'm used to the Bell Canada version:

3 - skip a few (3?) seconds
33 - skip to end of message
1 - skip back a few (3?) seconds
11 - skip to start of message
7 - delete
9 - save

There's forward (with the ability to prepend your own message) and listen to 
envelope too, but I never use them so I don't know what they are offhand :-)
