A method and an enhanced voice mail system for subscribing to RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds on behalf of a user are provided. The enhanced voice mail system subscribes with RSS server(s) to obtain one or more RSS feeds for a user and further obtains the RSS feeds media content referred to within the RSS feeds. The received media content may be transcoded if needed, for example to adapt to the media format supported by the voice mail system, and then stored in the enhanced voice mail system. The later further notifies the user of the availability of the RSS feeds media content, possibly using e.g. SMS notifications. The voice mail system therefore enhances the user experience by extending its functionality beyond the simple handling of user-to-user voice mail messages. The user can then connect to their mailbox of the enhanced voice mail system and get access not only to voice mail messages left by other users, but also to RSS feeds media content.
