YouMail

Ok, I've read a couple of threads about YouMail but all of them were 6 months or older.

First of all, to the Sprint users, is it really true that the call forwarding is free? They used to charge $0.20 per call.

I really like the option to have different messages on my voice mail but don't want to pay for the service.

And is there another service like YouMail?

Thanks

they do not charge, check out google voice, it's open to the public now and has voicemail options plus you can use a new phone number if you want or a different number for different people

I use google voice too. It's funny as hell trying to decipher the text you get from them if the caller isn't clear or loud enough. lol.

Youmail works great, they don't charge you, and my clients are very impressed when you mail recognizes their number and hearsba personal voicemail just for them. 10 out of 10.

Text message isn't perfect but you get what the person is needing.

Thanks, I have YouMail running right now. I love all the funny gretting messages. I was worried about Sprint charging me any fees for forwarding the calls, not about the service that YouMail provides cause I'm not going to use the premium service.

ok, so i like the idea of YouMail..

went ahead and registered... dialed the 12 digit *xxxxxxxxxxxxx code thing..heard the 2 beeps... A-OK!

when calling though nothing picks up.. i called sprint had them add cond call fwd to the 909 number... it rings for just under 60 seconds, then gives an error code(obviously because the forward to 909 number isnt working) and noone can leave a VM now..

**im on phone with sprint now, re-adding the 909#, maybe last tech put it in wrong**

assuming im still in the same boat after this, anyone have any suggestions??

I had no problems setting it up. Dialed the *############ code abd then got the two tones. After that it worked perfectly.

What I would do is go back to square one and try it again.

Let us know if you got it working.

I use Youmail and yes its free. There are no extra charges from sprint. The only down side is each time you call to check your voice mail it subtracts from your minutes.

You always have the option to go online to check the messages instead of calling! You wont use the minutes that way
