#1 Call:
Said I want to change "Default Voicemail". The tech said "are you using a 3rd party voicemail service?" I said "yes." He said no problem, put me on hold for 4 min, then asked for the new number, then over the next 10 min he repeatedly "tested" it by calling me and he couldn't get it to work (still answered by SprintVM). He wanted me to reset my phone, but I was on it, so he said "oh, thats why it isn't updating. If it doesn't work after you hang up, call back when you are on a land line." (He obviously didn't know what he was doing -lol)

#2 Call:
Said I want to change "Default Voicemail". He said "no problem" and immediatly asked for the new number. Put me on hold for 1 min, then said his supervisor said they can't do that because it circumvents their $0.20/min forwarding charge. I said the other guy tried to do it and asked what it was currently set to. It was 11+my-phone-number still, so the first tech didn't change a thing. (???)

#3 Call:
Said I want to change "Default Voicemail in your ESM system". They guy said no problem and immediatly asked for the new number. Put me on hold for 1 min, then said "I can't change the default voicemail, I can only change conditional or unconditional" (did not mention the word "forwarding" or any charge). I said "conditional I guess, but I was told to have you change the default". He said "sorry, I can only change conditional." I said "ok", and 30-seconds later he said "done, is there anything else I can help you with?" I said "nope, thanks" and hung up.

I hope I don't get charged. If I do, I can honestly say the tech said absolutly nothing about any charge or even the word "forwarding". We will see.

I think I will though, because it is not the default. The "default voicemail" is not called conditional or unconditional... it is a 3rd type... right?

Anyway, it's working and I love it. I set the Home-Tab left softkey to "Voicemail" and had it run the app instead of "Phone" which is the same as pressing the hardware talk key. I hope I don't get charged.

PS: I'd love it more if...
1) It showed contact name and picture, plus had an internal player with progress bar instead of launching Windows Media Player Mobile
...does any one know how to make it at least launch a different player?

or 2) It just forwarded to GMail and I could some how tell the phone to only auto-download attachments from FVM.

or 3) It just simply sent an MMS with the voice mail from the callers number. That would be awesome!
