I don't think it's possible, but now that the iPhone is in the "corporate" Exchange game, my company has Unified Messaging with Exchange voicemail, so voicemail's come into my Exchange inbox as .wma files to play and listen too. Anyway of playing those on the iPhone/iPod touch?

it will but you would have to use itunes to convert them but in your case you would not be able to hear them

That's an extremely long-winded way of saying "no".

But you really have no clue whether Exchange support might extend to this functionality, do you?

I don't have any help for you, but my work's exchange service bumps voicemail to email with wav files that play just fine.

I don't know. It may have something to do with the phone/voicemail system too (ours is cisco I think).
