Visual Voicemail on TP2

gianthobbit · #1 (**permalink**) 11-08-2009, 11:05 PM

So with Sprint having finally opened up call forwarding I moved everything over to Google Voicemail. First day so cant report back on how I like it but trying to do some research on options for visual voicemail. Type it in google and I find a ton of really old articles.

Anyone know the what options we have for visual voicemail, pros and cons etc.?

As Sprint has announced officially, this will be happening in mid-November. However, the exact date has not been finalized or announced by Sprint.

People over at Sprintusers have talked to customer service about call forwarding. They said that it is good to go

all is well for me so far.
before now, the conditional call fwd codes ( *28 ) did not work, but it does now. also google is providing this in the instructions for sprint phones.

Talked with Sprint earlier today on this:

11/08/2009 02:00:45PM Me: "I have heard that Sprint has or is going to remove charges for conditional call forwarding, is this true?"

11/08/2009 02:02:09PM Agent (Holley D): "Good afternoon, Mr. xxxxx. Yes, you are correct; Sprint has just recently introduced a change in our price plans that allows for conditional call forwarding at no cost to you. Unconditional call forwarding will still bill at .********** cents per minute."

11/08/2009 02:02:43PM Me: "Is it effective now and does it apply to all plans?"

11/08/2009 02:03:47PM Agent (Holley D): "Yes, this new feature is automatically included with all of our price plans, and is available for use starting today."

Ive used fusion and it works alright. a bit of a lag once a call goes to vm and then downloads it. ON the plus side, you can get faxes directly to your phone.

The only other option I am seeing other than GV is the Fusion VM. Just doent look that polished from the screen shots. Going to give GV a try for about a month or so and then try fusion vm.

tried fusion...and it didn't grab me. Call me a simpleton, but the interface was not as user friendly as I had hoped. That was almost a year ago.

I've been on the GV thing for a little while (had an invite from day one) It (in my opinion) is still pretty clunky. The transcripts are not as accurate as I had hoped. The interface (contacts, groups, etc) was not easy to setup properly. Better yet, it was not intuitive.

I'm a GFanboy...so I think I'll still stick with GV until something better comes along.
