Visual Voice Mail App Rocks
I am using SimulSays, and I think the accuracy is unbelievable. Having a app like the iPhone with my voicemail listed (and transcribed - take that apple fanboys) is the last feature I was looking for on my phone. I have sling, XM, Sirius, all the HTC goods, Oakley ROKR bluetooth glasses, bluetooth GPS, Google and Live maps, Mercora Radio, and by far, the best thing I have is the VoiceMail app. I love the functionality. You don't need to download the app either. I get my messages from Exchange to maintain customer conversations. The transcription is nice and relatively fast and accurate. If you don't like the transcription, hit reply with :redo and the accuracy goes up 2 fold. Has anyone else tried this app, and what are your feelings. Are there better applications? This one is 9.99 a month for 40 messages transcribed, and 25 cents after that. There is a free trial, but you have to call Sprint and have a good tech set up the forwarding. I can assist if anyone is interested.
http://www.simulsays.com - no, I am not affiliated with them at all!!!! |
Can you elaborate? The site isn't very helpful. So, are they both services, or only the scribing? And do I really have to go through sprint to set it up, or will the app work on it's own?

It seems they are actually two different services. SimulSays is a free app, while the SimulScribe is $9.99/month. All the reviews seem to think it's still a great deal. However, I've just read that you will need to call sprint and have them change your "No Answer Forwarding" to the SimulSays/Scribe voicemail number, rather than the regular Sprint Voicemail. This doesn't seem to be a problem except Sprint will charge $.20 per minute to do this.
Cool service, but yet another way Sprint will bleed us dry. -p- |
I use it on my 6800, and it is compatible. It may not be supported... I agree that it may be pricey, but the free service gives you the visual voicemail app that I wanted from the iPhone. I was not told about the forwarding, I will look at my bill and confirm. Look for future posts regarding additional costs. Yes, you do have to call sprint and get a good tech, or you will not get your phone to ring on incoming calls. It happened to me!

Sprint online is down, it looks pretty (useless), so I will get back to the charges question once I have access to my bill.
|
is it like callwave?
|
|
After reading the differences between SimulSays and CallWave, it appears that Simul works through your phone and CallWave works through PC based email.
|
The additional charges will kick butt; expecially if you're someone that gets a lot of voice mail.
|
The tech confirmed there are charges associated with this type of forwarding. I wish they would charge forwarding to my minutes, but I guess that is life. I will cancel my trial... boo hoooooo
