Greet your friends with a famous voice



If you're so addicted to America's celebrity culture that you'd love to have a famous voice answer your cell phone, then Alltel has an answer (of sorts) for you. Today the carrier announced its new Voice Mail Max program, which will enable customers to personalize their outgoing voice mail greetings with the voices of actors, comedians, celebrity impersonators, and musical artists. Among the available content is voice clips from such luminaries as Larry the Cable Guy, Steve Harvey, Orlando Jones, T.I., and popular the cast from Reno 911!. Though that's not the most A-list list that I've seen, Orlando Jones is a start. But I have to admit that I had to ask Bonnie Cha who T.I. is.

Alltel says it has a selection of 500 audio clips in such categories as Hip Hop, rock stars, sports, business, holiday, and cartoons. Though you can browse and preview for free but greetings are $2.99. each. Also, Voice Mail Max is available only on select Alltel cell phones.
