Understanding the sensibility of standards... the biggest 'Voice Mail'
system that people probably use is the Cell Phone System. In South
Africa - this means Vodacom or MTN (the two main providers). They tend
to use 7=delete, 9=save (etc). This probably holds true for most
non-Americans with cell phones (I'm guessing here). Is this true for
American Users? ( == analogue cell/mobile users systems ??)

Is this something to stick into an indications type file?
