Disclosed herein is a method which allows the cell or mobile phone company or the cell phone user or owner to download voice mail, voice messages, or recorded calls or conversations to the user's or owner's personal e-mail or for delivery by a mail means on a hard disk or chip media in a format that can be used to store and play the voice mail or messages from the individual's computer. The option mode on the cell or mobile phone can be programmed to allow the cell or mobile phone user or owner to download one or more voicemail or message recordings to his or her personal e-mail account. Also, should the number of voice mail or message recordings exceed the number, time, and/or duration storage limit(s) for that particular individual's cell or mobile phone account, the cell or mobile phone company can initiate and complete the downloading of voice mail or messages. Since the cell or mobile phone voice mail or messages are already stored in a digital means using vocoder technology, the particular stored digital format can be efficiently converted to one of the typical sound generating formats found on PC or MAC computers. Such formats are known as WAV, Windows Media Audio Series, RealAudio, Quicktime6, Wave64, OGG Vorbis, MP3, MIDI, CD Audio, Perfect Clarity Audio, Dialogic VOX ADPCM or AIFF format IBM-PC compatible Personal Computer (PC) and Apple Macintosh computers.
