Ribbit Mobile, the voicemail and call-routing service that looks like a serious Google Voice rival, has launched an iPhone app to deliver voicemail transcripts with convenient call-back and SMS links, along with to-call list generation and other features.


Because Ribbit knows exactly why Google Voice was rejected from the App Store, it doesn't offer its own calling, SMS, or address book features in its iPhone app—just a convenient access point to the audio and text of your voicemail. If you want to call or SMS back somebody who left you a message, you're using the iPhone's native apps to do so. That doesn't help you hide your personal number and create a separate call-tracking list, like Google Voice does, but, given the notably better transcriptions, at least with a Business-Grade account, that's not where Ribbit is looking to sell itself.


Ribbit Mobile is a free download for iPhones running at least the 3.1 firmware, and it requires a free Ribbit account.
