Sprint voicemail to text

lilbrulesall · #1 (**permalink**) 01-22-2011, 07:51 PM

So I'm just completing my one month trial of the voicemail to text feature that was added in the last vm update and I have to say its pretty sweet. It's only $2 a month but my only problem is that its hit or miss. Sometimesit gets it perfect and other times its completely terrible lol. So my question is, is there any tweak we can do to improve the quality or is it all done on sprints end? And how many of you guys are keeping it, wha are your thoughts?

google voice transcribes voicemails for only free. only thing you have to spend is time registering for it

I also use Google Voice for Free Transcribed voicemails.

I have Conditional call forwarding set to send my Unanswered calls to Google Voice!!

So I just set up Google voice and now it says "unable to complete your call, please try again" whenever I miss a call. So like if someone calls, and I decline it or miss it, it says that

did I do something wrong??

Did you add your Sprint Cell# to your Google Voice Account??

You don't need the Google Voice app to use Google Voice. I don't even use the app. You can set up everything on your Google voice account using a PC.

i started using google voice to handle my voicemail. big fun. I get a text telling me I have a voicemail, I get an email telling me I have a voicemail, and then the google talk app on phone shows I have a voicemail. 3 notifications for one voicemail is getting a bit old.

You can change this as well from the google voice website under settings. Uncheck email option!
Never had the google talk app notify me on my phone, but it does on my Tablet.
