Also I called sprint to do it on my GF's phone, again they had no problem changing the number the first time...guess I'm just lucky...
Anyway I was curious so I started asking the Rep questions, because my GF really didn't care whether she had it or not...

I asked him if it was against policy to do this and he said he wasn't aware of reason why it would be, but he was just a Rep...

So I guess it all depends on who you get but still, there is no reason this should be against there policy, they don't even mention it and many reps don't have a problem doing it...

Remember YRMV

I think it's all in the way you present it to the tech. when I called I said I want to change my VM # and I wanted the setting to be conditional and thats when he said he understood what I wanted to do as far as not getting charged for this.

Okay called in a third time... and the rep knew exactly what i meant when i said i want to change my default vm number. She asked me if i wanted it set up to conditional, BUT she said i will still get charged! I then go on to ask her to change it in the ESM system and she said no matter which way i spin it, its still call forwarding. Don't know how you guys are getting so lucky! Maybe next time i should just say go ahead and change it and just check my sprint bill.

here's the loophole in sprints logic. thier argument for trying to charge .20 is that it's not in the sprint system, ect.. BUT, if the sprint VM IS in the sprint system, then why don't calls to check VM count as Sprint-2-Sprint. ,but I digress.. it's not worth arguing with them, thier just like us, workers. I will try this tomarrow, may the force be with me, and all.

That would suck if phone fusion had caused that.

So what if you had sprint change your voicemail number to another phone number, such as your office or house... Would you get charged then?

this is the argument they gave me when i called in. They made it sound as though I could rip them off by using their system to talk. They are just greedy idiots.
