I just got Visual Voicemail for the first time, and now I heard about "youmail"
who has experience with it? Which is better in your opinions? Discuss.
I'd like to know what hero ROM you're on (TAG?) -.- anyway, visual voicemail. Been around longer. If you have gv the voicemail provided by that is far superior to any voicemail app in the market.
I've tried both, and they seem to work well on the surface. However, I never liked them and preferred T-Mobile's voicemail, even if you do have to dial into it.
From my experience, Visual Voicemail ran better, but Youmail is more updated and is a much bigger company. Youmail has services you have to pay for, as for VV, I don't recall.
I do agree though, Google Voice's voicemail works amazingly.
I have been using youmail and its really good
I u end up wanting to cancel the VV service it's a little involved. I canceled mine 2 months ago, then recently out of the blue i kept getting email notifications that my box was full. Once you are fully out of the system thats it. Youmail on the other unsubscribing is a matter of changing your settings. As well they keep your acct should you change your mind, no starting over from scratch.
Ironically enough, I just setup a Google Voice acct today. All i can say is Google is doing doing it big with that one. You should explore that option as well. You wont be disappointed.
I use YouMail on JACHero 2.7.3 and it works perfectly.
I've never had an issue with it. I pay for the Pro/Transcribing as well ($3.99/mo) - since I can't use GV for my main number. The major difference between GV Voicemail and YouMail is that you can customize greetings for different people and GV is free.
I love doing specific greetings.

So I've been searching for awhile now
with no luck. Does anyone know of an app
for the Fuze that can do what you see in
the iphone commercial, where you can search through
your voicemails and choose which one to
listen to. I found a couple that read wav
files from your email, and promise something similar,
but my voicemail doesn't get sent to my email.
if anyone knows of an app that will do that for
my cell phone voicemail, that would solve the problem
AT&T does this for the Iphone, so what's the big deal?
why not the fuze, or windows mobile devices
in general?
I use a mix of callwave and mail2web, which has an exchange server. Callwave forwards my voicemail to my email, and the email get's pushed on to my phone. It's the only thing available (that I'm aware of), that will do any sort of visual voicemail on anything that's not an iphone. I even set a separate sound notification for the outlook email, using watchflag
check out youmail. kind of like mentioned above, as u can just have ur voicemail forwarded to email and pushed to ur phone. it has a LOAD of other options such as callertones for each caller and transcription. which used to be free, but has recently changed since coming out of beta. pretty much everything else is free and great to use.
Do any of these allow an actuall wav. or audio file of the voicemail to be sent to me via. an attachment to an email, that can then be checked from my phone. I found a program that scans my email for wav. and audio files and then displayes and allows me to play them just like the Iphone. problem is I can't seem to find a way to have my voicemail sent to my email. I signed up for a youmail account, and I gotta say I like the notification options and being able to check my voicemail online, but it still doesn't actually get the audio to my email, which is kinda what I'm hoping for. Not a huge deal just more convenient. also it's one more thing to be like "iphone, oh ya look at my phone". ok that's kinda cheesy, but you get the point. You kinda get tired of seeing all the fluff about the Iphone when I can do everything and more with my Fuze. I'd like to see AT&T just make this service avaliable to the rest of the smartphones they sell. not just the Iphone, but I'm sure apple made some sort of stipulation, for At&t's exclusivity to the ibone sales.
youmail does send an email with a wav- just check the options. Check this out also: http://www.ppcmobility.com/forums/showthread.php?t=426
both youmail and callwave send mp3 or wav files to your email. they both transcribe text as well. so you can receive your voice mail through both text and email.
what i love the most is, they both send out a notification even if a voicemail is not left. so if you dont have signal for what ever reason (when im on the subway to and from work) you can still be aware of who called.
when used with mail2web or any exchange account with push....visual voice mail seems bland.
MessageSling will also send audio files to your email, free.
phone Fusion
Maybe you need to take a look at phonefusion voicemail plus
It works same as iphone visual voicemail plus more functions.
also it is free
bad news, they only have voicemail number for US.
Thanks all. I appreciate all the help. I did try phonefusion, but didn't like that it didn't sync with my contacts. I actually ended up using a combination of youmail which I have send me an email to my new web2mail address, and then I have that pushed to my fuze, where web2mail is setup as an exchange server. Better than any visual voicemail i've found yet as it actually has caller ID built in. where I don't even need to have the person in my contacts and it tells me who it is. As a bonus I am testing out mvisualvoicemail as friendly interface to view all of them together.
Wouldn't it be easier to just answer your phone? (utter sarcasm)

Is phone Fusion free??? And is it "safe", by that I mean is it's security/ privacy safe? From what I understand, when using it you no longer use ATT's voicemail. You forward unanswered calls to phonefusion, but is it reliable? Or could they or other people hear your messages?

Regarding you question i honestly dont know.... i rarely have voicemails at all and if i do i am not worried about its security. It would be illegal for them to listen to you voicemails...unless of course there is something in the agreement...which i did not read . lol sorry i can not be any help.
and yes its free
Double posted somehow, sorry
Phone Fusion Voicemail Plus is 100% free.
As far as safe, it is stored on their servers, so they COULD listen to it I suppose, but so could AT&T on their own servers if they wanted to....
No normal people can't hear your voicemail. You have to log in to the site to listen to your vm's, or you listen to it from your phone. So unless someone's accessing your phone without you knowing, (like a snooping g/f or b/f) you're good.
The program is pretty sweet btw. I'd DEFINITELY recommend it to anyone who wants a Visual Voicemail type display.
I just tested Fusion Voicemail Plus. It plays through WMP and through the speaker. It would be nice to have one application that would play through the earpiece.
For Voicemail usage like the one on the iPhone (Voicemail stored on an IMAP Server), I suggest you to try Clementine Visual Voice Mail created by flap

Note that it's in french, but not that hard to understand (even though I'm french )

Hey, ive tried Phone Fusion and all i get is a black screen, even when activated, what am I doing wrong?
can anyone please upload their Visual Voicemail app for AT&T? I bought a Galaxy S2 and cannot seem to find the default visual voicemail app in the marketplace (probably because my phone is from Europe and is not recognized by the american marketplace)
thanks in advance =]
---------
In a related note: I went to my local AT&T store to see if they could get it working for me, but they supposedly said that google removed visual voicemail apps from the marketplace. WTF?
Doesn't belong in the dev section.
As for an answer, I've never had Visual Voicemail on my phone. I thought that was iPhone exclusive.
I've never had visual voicemail from at&t either. I do however use google voice for my voicemail and I like that a lot better than the iphones visual voice as it transcribes the message too.
Here
Have you tried google it first?
Visual Voicemail is currently available for BlackBerry® Bold™ smartphone users*.
As has been mentioned, it isn't available for Droid. There are alternate options.
Also as has been mentioned, this IS NOT A DEV concern. This is the very reason they put a minimum post count cap on posting in the DEV section. Apparently they must have gone back and changed it.
Send this to General...
And download Google Voice. It is vastly superior to that dinosaur VVM...
I posted this in the dev section because I was planning on porting the app over to the SGS2
anyway, I remember seeïng the visual voicemail app a long time ago on some Tmobile devices; I'm new, i thought it was still around
I use Youmail. Its great!!
YouMail
Try YouMail. It works great.
Google Voice.
You can use your current phone number and have visual voicemail.
Go to google.com/voice on your computer to set it up, then get the app.

I have heard that sprint visual voicemail works on the nexus on ics can anyone help
I have got the vtt-sprint.apk installed it and updated prl and prolfile on wifi and 3g/4g and still cant get the activation message to go through.
VVM on Sprint Network
I hate to be the bearer of bad news. First, VVM does work, but in order to get it to work you must completely switch to Google Voice. To do this, from any computer that you are logged into with your google account, visit google.com/voice and completely set that up. It will ask you to pick a new telephone number and it will walk you through setting up the voicemail box and all that.
Once you have all that set up it will allow you to forward calls to your cell. I recommend this rather than switching completely to Google Voice.
You can further, once you've completed this, from within your Sprint Account, choose to use strictly Google Voice but this will mean you will either forfeit the new number you just chose, or the one you have on your phone.
If you choose to keep your original number that was on th ephone first, it will migrate to your Google Voice box and your call forwarding will become a hardwired thing... Google will no longer forward calls to another number, but rather all calls to your cell number will forward to your device through hardware routing performed solely at the discretion of Google.
Sprint will, in a sense, no longer have any control over your call routing. It really makes for a total disaster to get problems resolved if you ever experience call routing issues.
In my opinion, this is an awful lot to go through, too large of a chance for errors and a royal pain in the neck to go through just for visual voicemail.
I have the closest thing possible set up... I use the number I assigned to my Google Voice box, and I set up forwarding to my phone(it's nice because I can also answer calls from my computer if I want, and if I ever change carriers I keep the number on my Google Voice box and simply set it back up to forward to another cell phone number on another carrier).
If someone calls my google voice number, it automatically forwards to my cell. If I do not answer, it reverts back to my Google Voice box voicemail and if the caller leaves a message it records it for me, transcribes it and both text's it to me and leaves a copy of the transcript in my gmail box for me for later review. It also attaches the recording to the email. Very nice feature.
So, now, I only hand out my Google Voice number and nobody ever knows my actual cell phone number. Very private if you ask me, that, and if I ever terminate my service with my cell carrier, I still have the number I give to every one and can answer it from my Gmail box. No cell phone required. I never miss calls...
There are other options with Google Voice I did not discuss here, but you will figure that out. Message me if you have any other questions. Also click thanks on my post to help me become an active member if you think this helps.

I have had google voice before but i wanted to get the native sprint app working. I have hear that sprint routes the nexus voicemail to a different server so it was never meant to work. but i have heard ppl having it work on GB but i just moved over to ICS and was attempting to get it to work but I can't get the activation message to send
Can you send me the apk so I can have a try at it?

Voicemail Routing
Working for AT&T, I do know that voicemail routing is going to be your only issue. If a customer has Visual Voicemail, the feature needs to be provisioned as such and, yes, the voicemail repository server is located in a different place on different hardware. Provisioning VVM at AT&T also required that the data feature be provisioned differently. There is data for smart phones with and without vvm attached.
So, if you do not have the visual voicemail feature provisioned on your account with sprint that is the reason you are unable to successfully configure the app. The basic voicemail servers can not handle the VVM. In most cases VVM is free for smart phones, but with sprint, I doubt that to be the case.
I am satisfied with the Google Voice operation and the added layers of security it provides.
heh...clean simple and no hassles -> Go to Market and type in YouMail, download and install, follow prompts through the simple and easy setup, enjoy your new VVM
NS4G: NexusMV 4G 03.01 (Baked in Matr1x) + 1460MHz/1460MHz SmartassV2 & CWM Touch Recovery
I'm gonna call sprint to have them provision my account and try to activate vvm
Spoke with sprint they setup everything on their side and verified it and my activation message still won't go thru I I might be the apk. I tried the gb apk but it fc when I try to send
They are saying its a phone based routing problem (blaming ICS) because it works in gb and they cite a flaw in the ICS VVM API
Its a sad song
Here you go guys, enjoy.

Google Voice Visual Voicemail Integrated Into Stock Dialer

Is there a Visual Voicemail other than the crappy T-Mobile app? I'd love for something like the Android native VVM.
I used to use Google Voice, but they do not like you deleting voicemails and make it as painful as possible.
I use google voice, have for years. I am not sure if you can still sign up with them or not. They will also email or text a copy of the message.

I love T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail app. Have never had a problem deleting a voicemail. You do have to have a good data signal though for it to synch, delete, etc since it does require data.

I was wondering the same thing. Stumbled upon this thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...l-voicemail-vs-t-mobile-visual-voicemail.html
I thought Samsung has a standard visual vm? I'm sorta missing my Nexus 6P and the stock android VM built into the dialer.
Used Google Voice for years, has gotten much better, receives updates regularly these days.

I am coming from the apple camp so apologies in advance if this sounds dumb. I needed a business phone and did not want to spend the apple money so I bought the Mi 9 and I am using Mint Mobile with it (did I said I was cheap). Anyway having used android tablets I have an idea of how things works but since this is the first time I have an android phone, the communication apps are new to me.
So I am trying to figure out the voicemail thing with this phone. I receive alerts when a new voicemail is received but no notification bubble on the phone app or on the status bar. If I missed the alert, I most likely will not know I have a voicemail. Also checking voicemail seems archaic (press and hold 1 and I have to listen through each VM one by one). I am hoping that I am being dumb and one of you can tell me there is a built in app for to get visual voicemail, so far I haven't found it. Please help and point me to the best way to manage voicemails.
you have 2 good alternatives in:
1) youmail
or
2) your service providers custom visual voicemail app (typciallty can be found in the playstore)
