Indeed, but it's certainly (free) the cheapest. The text transcripts of
the voicemail alone are worth the price of admission.

The 99-Cents-Only Stores (at least in California) sell 99-minute cards
for 99 cents. Good for 90 (or more likely 99) days. I used those
before GV arrived.

OIC.
If you order on line, they will send you the ATA.

No need to purchase the equipment up front.
