In 2003 Stan Beaton lost his wife Ruby and the only way he could hear her voice after she had passed away was from a voicemail message.

Over the years he had never dared change phone companies for fear of losing the only way he had of hearing her voice.
Sadly he noticed one day that the voicemail message was lost:
Sadly it disappeared. I was absolutely devastated by it, but also extremely angry. In the early days [I listened to it] quite often. Basically it came to the point when if I felt low then I would listen to it. In December I learned that it had disappeared. I just could not tell people how it affected me at that time. It really did devastate me."- Stan Beaton
Mr Beaton had phoned Virgin Media to find out if there was any way to retrieve the message and sure enough, after 11 engineers searched for it for three days, he has now been permanently reunited with his wife's voicemail:
It might not be much, but it clearly meant the world to him and he'll surely cherish this forever.
