A method of and apparatus for Internet voice mail messaging allows for automatic retrieval of information from the Internet, text to digital speech conversion of the information, if necessary, conversion of the digital speech information from digital format to a proprietary digital voice signal, if necessary and transfer of such information to various users through conventional telephonic voice messaging systems. The method and apparatus automatically accesses the Internet, downloads the information to be retrieved, converts the information from a digital format to a proprietary digital voice signal, transmits the converted information to a dedicated telephonic voice messaging system, and instructs the dedicated telephonic voice messaging system to transmit the information to the voice mail boxes of various selected users. The users may be users specific to the dedicated telephonic voice messaging system or users of other voice messaging systems which are networked with the dedicated telephonic voice messaging system through a conventional voice mail network over standard public service telephone network lines or digital link, either of which may use proprietary protocols.
