Re: How to Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free

EDIT: For those of you worrying about getting a charge, this is straight from the Sprint call forwarding policy...

Calls that are forwarded by default to voicemail or mobile messaging are not charged the standard $.20 per minute rate. Calls received when you set unconditional Call Forwarding (*72), Call Forward Busy (*74), and Call Forward No Answer (*73) are charged at $.20 per minute.
"

So as long as you just change your voicemail number with all fields set to conditional, you should not get charged

To be fair, the same page also lists this as the very last bullet point:

Sounds like that clarifies on the "forwarded by default to voicemail or mobile messaging are not charged" point you quote above. People seem to glance right over this... I guess you should probably add this piece to the first post as well, since you added your quote above.

Now understand, I'm NOT saying that you can't have this without being charged (I'm sure there are ways for Sprint reps to do this, and I'm sure their system isn't perfect). What I'm saying is, be aware of the above before you use this as your argument as to why you should get free forwarding.
