In thinking about this more, the auto-play option can be a quickie fix 
but a more complete implementation is needed.  Think about the scenario 
when checking your voicemail from an automobile or a crowded subway 
where you can't easily dial.   Wouldn't it be great if you could dial in 
to your * box and if there are no new messages, it tells you "Sorry, you 
have no new messages."  and the call is terminated.  If you have new 
messages, it plays ALL of them back to back without the need to press 
anything.  If you do press a key, it takes you to the standard menu 
where you have full navigation.  At the end of all the new messages, it 
hangs up.  This way you can, by default, hear all of your messages 
without having to navigate anything.  I can think of some additional 
options but this core functionality is a good start.
