100% of all voicemail systems are not based on standards. There *are* no 
standards for voicemail. There aren't even many common practices. The 
nearest voice mail comes to haveing a standard is that you are expected 
to talk after a *beep*. I think that is primarily so those who don't 
understand the language of the prompts can still leave messages easily.
