Is is there a way to get the Sprint Visual voice mail capability on the Arrive Windows phone.

Unfortunately for now via Sprint website..

"Visual Voicemail" is not supported by the phone HTC Arrive™.

Use google Voice, works with all phones! Sends you a text with the transcribed voicemail, and it's free!

I thought I would bump this in hopes that someone knows if there has been any progression on this? I read somewhere that VVM is something sprint has to enable.. is this correct? Could it be implemented via custom ROM?
Thanks, havent done any flashing yet, so WP7 Custom ROMs are still a new process for me

I believe sprint vvm is an add on, I think it costs $5/month.

Your better off setting up a Google voice number, setting up conditional call forwarding on your sprint line(where all unanswered calls get forwarded to your Google voice#, free service) then you get a text of the voicemail the person left. Much more customization with GV.

So they decided to charge for a service that was already available for free on android, and is natively supported on Mango?

Wow Sprint.. Wowwwww

Verizon charges $2.99 a month for VVM and a advanced mailbox...

Not much different and they do not support the native VVM on mango

I tried to have it enabled to see if the feature would pop up on my phone.

Not to also mention that they've recently raised the prices of TEP from $8 to $11.

I use FreeTalk and Google Voice for "Visual Voicemail". Google Voice is free for Sprint users.
