Is there a Visual VoiceMessage App for 6700?

[PPCFreak]

The biggest part of the Visual Voicemail that I am looking for is the 'Who Left the Voicemessage', 'How Long is the Voice Message' and 'When was it left'.

I don't necassaryily need to have it recorded to my phone as seperate wav files for each voice message (although that would be pretty slick).

Just would like the heads up display on who, how long, and when a voice message was left.

And I agree, the original Apple version of the App is pretty darn cool.

Thinking OutLoud Here: Would it be possible to .net code to trap the VoiceMessage indicator, then possibly login to your voicemail and listen to the messages/record it?

What you want would requre the voicemail provider (in this case your carrier) to provide that information to the handset (who, how long, when). Currently none of the CDMA providers' voicemail systems do that--Sprint's being the worst offender in that it never even reports how many messages you have.

As for your .net app idea it's not feasible due to the fact that the phone cannot record sound that plays through the earpiece. So to "record" the playing message it would need to put the device in speakerphone mode. I suppose that's possible but do you really want your voicemails playing over the speakerphone at random? Not to mention the fact that that solution doesn't have any way to know how long to record for, who left the message or when. I don't know if you were expecting it to use voice recognition but that would be impossibly complex for anyone other than a big software company to put together.

This is something that will probably be ubiquitous in 2010, but for now there's not really anything you can do about it.

Couldn't one tie the Missed Call log with the VoiceMessage to get atleast maybe the 'Who' and 'When' portion of the VoiceMessage?

Not every missed call results in a voicemail so how is the app supposed to know which voicemails tie in with which missed calls--voice recognition of the message envelope? If so I think that is way underestimating the amount of work needed to create such a program.

Also, each provider's voicemail system is different and thus you'd need separate versions of such an app for each one.

It's just not feasible--sorry.

I agree that the missed call indicator is not a good way of gauging when a message was left and by who....but since the CDMA carriers don't track that with the Voice Message, I was looking to that as a possible way to tie the 2 together.
