Now that Sprint made conditional forwarding free as of November 8, using 3rd party visual voicemail systems such as Google Voice and YouMail are free. (Rumor has it that ALL call forwarding may be free for Everything plan subscribers later this month.)
So, is anyone planning to turn the reins over? I have been a little hesitant since Visual Voicemail was one of the features I was most excited about when getting the Hero, but... I do love Google Voice and the Android app actually works pretty well. You click on the transcribed message and you can either play the recording or just read the text. Plus, you don't have to worry about losing the message ever and, of course, searching for information you got via a voicemail is way easier.
What do you all think?
