[feature request] visual voicemail export #141

I won't blame you if you shoot this down and say this is out of scope of the product.

This is a great app and exports calls, message, and contacts. But what about voice messages? Visual Voicemail is part of most android devices, depending on carrier. It would be nice if we could export and keep these voice messages.

Without an export tool, I have to export the voice messages by hand to an amr file. The file does not have the contact the audio is related to despite the fact that the app itself does know what the audio message belongs too. I presume if a proper app was created, I would have the associated number and contact in the meta export. Also, maybe my app is old because it's on an old device. Nevertheless, it would be nice to have this feature to export the messages. As far as importing back in, I don't know what complexity would exist there.

I'm happy to consider adding VVM support to SMS I/E, although I myself don't use VVM, so I don't know much about i. I won't be able to implement it in the near future, however, and I'm not promising to get to it at all. Pull requests are of course welcome.

For reference, here's some documentation of Android VVM support: VVM - AOSP, VisualVoicemailService - Android Developers.
