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)
I like the PhoneFusion... very simple setup and over quickly

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

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.

Its essentially just like Google Voice but uses your own AT&T number with voicemail, texting, mms, and missed call notifications.
Just loaded it... be weary, looks like it take some time to sync and begin... its not as quick as GV either
do you see any obvious advantages? other than being able to use your own number
EDIT: installed it, nice app. i like it
Backup and review of all messages on the cloud. Slightly safer than Google.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
tried it right now and here is my thoughts on it
Pros: You are able to text from your computer using YOUR number and not the number that google has given you. Also if you dont have a signel on your phone you are still able to text from your computer, this also goes if you dont have your phone with you but you are still at a computer. Its an all in one system were you can get your text and voicemail in one place
cons: For some reason i cant get the website to load my messages but that could be just me, at this moment you cant disable notifications, not that much customization
i feel that it can be a great app given more time to improve on it but for right now i installed it tried it and uninstalled it because google voice is still better
Took a couple hours but it started working super smoothly. I don't like how it handles missed calls so now I use the messaging app for texts and what not and Google voice for voicemail.
Sometimes tthe messages don't sync but a force kill and app restart fixes it.

does this require a texting plan? currently I block all texts to and from my phone and just use GV, does this use data only for texts? I'm guessing AT&T wouldn't be that stupid...
it requires data and text but the data doesnt count unless you have a 4g plan (for now). just texts at some point. says so in the fine print.

after you sync, give it a couple hours to settle (youll know when you only get notifications for the att app and not from the Android Messaging app).
Does this cost money to use like at&t navigator, at&t music, etc?

Great timing for this app. I was debating purchasing a DeskSMS license but this is a good alternative.
this app is weird. i was kind of hoping for an app to sit in my sys tray so that i could see my texts from there and reply, like any other instant messaging app. This app requires you to log in to a clunky website to send and receive texts. the notifier app only tells you that you have messages.
It is clunky. Also expired my VM. ATT guy had no idea about the app or what it does and couldn't answer why the VM was expired. Seems that this app sets up another VM or sorts. Not crazy about the notifications either as they don;t seem to update when on the conversation...I dunno. Deleted it per the ATT service rep...funny really as one section has no idea what the other is doing.
I just get a message that says it can't complete the setup and I should contact AT&T support...
After you install the app and activate the service, this will change your voicemail retrieval number. If you used to call from another line to check your VM, you will need to call a different number from now on. Of course you also get Visual VM now.
I coud not access my mailbox, I was getting a prompt saying that my mailbox was not found, until I realized about this change. I fixed it by updating the call forwarding setting, under Android settings > call settings.
Tried it and don't like it. "Messages" app seems to take up a lot of RAM as well as battery. Made my phone a little laggy at times as well. How do I get my OLD voicemail back? I hate calling and having to enter my PIN # every single time to check messages. I used to be able to just click the notification icon and it'd go right through. Any help would be appreciated.
I had to call ATT to have the VM reset. It turned in to an hour long process with the ATT guy calling me back 3 times.
Edit..I take that back PIN still isn't working.
the app tells you that your voicemail will change. Its not a surprise by any means. If you want to change back your voicemail just ask that the give you basic voicemail. Takes two minutes. Just don't forget to set your greeting.

So I have an unlocked note 8 from samsung that i'm using on Verizon. Had it about a week and just noticed that I have not received any notifications of missed calls or if I have a voice mail message. I'm not talking about visual voice mail, just plain old basic voicemail. There should be a notification along the top that I have a voice mail. I called *86 and I had a bunch of messages but never received a notification.
Is there a setting I missed? I can't find anything for these.
Thanks
You have two options:
One, go to the website, log in, under Products and Services find Blocks, go to Service Blocks and block off visual voice mail and premium visual voicemail. You'll have basic voice mail only and the notifications should start coming to your phone.
Two, forward unanswered calls to Google Voice. You get a great Google app and you get transcribed voice mails, a feature that Verizon charges $2.99 for in "premium" visual voice mail.
Thanks. I called verizon to see if that was it. I asked that specifically and they said they couldn't turn it off visual voice mail. She turned of an ims setting (I don't know which one) and now I have notification back.
Interesting. I just called Verizon and they said because I have an unlocked phone that I also bought from Best Buy the phone didn't come with the Verizon software on it and I won't be able to get any vm notifications as a result.

You have to login to your MyVerizon and disable both visual voicemail and premium visual voicemail . Just like odesskiy said and then it will go old school and send you a msg with the little logo that you have voicemail. Worked perfectly!!! Glad I went unlocked.
Can someone help me and I am on Sprint and tried calling them no help. Just got an unlocked Note 8 and in my notifications window it says 4 new VM dial *86 and it won't let me get rid of it will not go away. I am using You Mail and have never used Sprints VM but I am thinking when I restored my phone from the backup maybe it downloaded something but I don't see any voicemail app I see the voicemail icon up top in the corner and when I pull down my notifications I see this 4 new voicemails dial *86 and I can swipe it to get to a setting which is just about hiding or blocking phone notification and then I see the phone icon. I've gone under apps and advance apps I was at some screen where I saw the *86 in there forgot how I got there but even still I can't get this notification to go away. Samsung had me do a few things also. I don't want to have to reset my phone just for that. But I googled my question and it took me here. I never used Sprint's VVM but do I still need Sprint to block it it's not on my phone unlocked phones don't have it unless I have regular VM somewhere but I can't find it to make this go away from my notification screen. Thanks!
It didn't work for me.

I blocked the " visual voicemail" then when I blocked the "premium visual voicemail" it automatically unblocked the "visual voicemail". So, I tried to block the visual voicemail again and it unblocked the premium visual voicemail. Seems only one can be blocked at a time--in my instance anyway. I didn't get any messages.
Same for me on my note 8 . Just switched from Verizon to Sprint because they had 5 lines unlimited for 100 bucks and 10gig each phone hotspot. Can find regular voicemail icon to put a shortcut on my phone? Been on Sprint tech support but don't see how on this unlocked note 8..still love the phone
Hi, I have the same issue on my unlocked note 8 regarding voicemail notification. I just spoke to a Verizon agent, had her block my premium visual voice mail, call me on another line to leave a voice mail and finally got a notification that I have a missed call and a new voice mail. I hope this helps as a Real Estate agent not having voice mail notification is bad news! I'm beyond grateful to see that notification again.
I have an unlocked Note8 and Verizon. Been missing my voicemail notifications and can't install the verizon voicemail app... with instructions above, I called Verizon Support and asked them to turn off the Visual Voicemail feature I've been paying for the last 10 years because I had a new unlocked phone that doesn't support it... not branded Verizon phone... So, support said they turned the feature off, and to reboot my phone. I rebooted, then got a text saying that Touch ID has been enabled for my phone, then from another phone, I called myself and left a message. I got a notification! And, the notification came with a link to click and install a their voicemail app, the blue one with the recorder icon... not the red one. It does everything I want, shows caller ID, or phone number, and click to play messages... easy delete. Perfect!
My Galaxy S21 Ultra has the Phone Dialer App it came with and the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app. Any time I get a voicemail I get two unclearable notifications from (I assume) the Phone app and one from the VVM app.
I don't EVER want to dial in to hear my voicemail. I ONLY want to use the VVM app. So I'd prefer to have the Phone app just ignore voicemail. Is there a way to do this?
I'm willing to change Phone apps if that's the secret sauce but that feels like a biggish change and so I didn't want to waste my time if it won't help.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. All the searching I've done just talks about how to disable voicemail altogether. So either I'm crap at searching or I'm phrasing the question wrong or, I admit, it might not be possible. Thx!
