 |  Interesting. I emailed ECare the other day about this, saying that I had friends in PA that had accurate voicemail counts... their response:

 regarding voicemail.
 
 I understand your concern regarding the voicemail.  However, we do not
 have any such update.  The voicemail count reflects only one unread mail
 as usual.  Thus, I request you to ask your friend to powercycle the
 phone.  To powercycle, switch off the phone and switch it back on after
 60 seconds.
 
 Further, I have also forwarded the case to the technical department.
 One of our specialists will contact you within 24 to 48 hours and will
 be happy to assist you.
 
 |  I like how they said that someone who had an accurate voicemail count should powercycle their phone, as if that would mean it was broken... hahaha!! :lol:  So now I'm awaiting contact from their technical dept., that should be fun. Just for kicks, I replied to the above with:

		| Thanks for your response. However, upon searching online I came across a
 discussion forum for Sprint users... there are tons of users on the East
 Coast that are reporting similar results with accurate voicemail
 counts.. someone also mentioned speaking to a Sprint tech who confirmed that you
 guys are slowly migrating to a new voicemail system. This must've started within
 the last 3-4 days.

 As mentioned in the previous email, we do not have any update regarding
 the voicemail.  However, I have already forwarded the case to the
 technical department.  Please be assured that you will be contacted from
 one of our specialists from the technical department and will be happy
 to assist you.
 
 |  Too funny. As usual, Sprint reps very inconsistent with their knowledge/information. Oh well... hopefully when (if) the tech calls, he tells me that it'll be working in the Chicago area within the next week or two... That'd be sweet. |
