Side note, I added a full pic to my previous post.

This was an issue for me too, I didn't want to be blasting my voicemail to public. And unfortunately, since the app uses the device speaker, I found a nice small app on freewarepocketpc.net that you can manually direct your windows audio (including regular sounds and music) directly through your ear piece. Here's a link:

I found this to be very useful when I don't want to put on all the stereo BT or corded headsets on, and listen to podcasts, videos and music and still manage to hear my surroundings.

I tested this on my TP and it works great! With the app, you can manually turn on/off the BT radio, without having to mingle through settings. Very nice integrated app with features, and will work promisingly well with this app I'm sure.

I've attached the cab if anybody is interested...please let me know your opinions.

hopefully we got it right. i called sprint to ask them if i had any forwarding charges but they said i had to wait till the bill was issued to see it. i was like wtf

well just got my bill.....AND I GOT CHARGED DAMMIT

[gwisawesome]

well I just tried my luck twice- I told them that I just needed to change my voicemail number as I was using a new service now. The first time I got a straight up 'no'. On my second call, she said they had just been notified within the week that changing voicemail numbers was not allowed and that the calls must be forwarded unconditional for .20/min, said a lot of people had been calling in so the memo was sent out...

I guess I'll keep trying, but not looking good Im jealous of you lucky ones that got it before all this.

First thing you have to do is sign up with Phonefusion, and yes it is completely free.
Here is the LINK

Once you go through the procces of setting up, very easy, it will e-mail you your login and password, you then need go back to Phonefusion and log-in...
It says it will send the download link to your phone automatically, but I had to request it to be sent to me.

To do that, after you log-in, click on the "Fusion Voicemail Plus Destination" under the "Voicemail Options Plus" menu. Then scroll down and click, "send link"
After you get the Link, install it to your main memory...

Next thing you need to do is call the Sprint tier 2 tech Department at
1-877-654-9111 then press #2.....this is the awesome part, it takes you straight to the people who know what they are talking about

Then you tell them you need to change your voice mail # to 813-200-0200, yes everybody will use this number...

Next, tell them that they should have some options called No Answer, Busy, and Unavailable and they need to set them to CONDITIONAL, this is very important, if you have it set to unconditional you could get charged .20 a minute, so tell them Conditional, and then you are done!

Now enjoy your visual voicemail!!!

BTW THIS is where I found out about it, feel free to research it on your own...

EDIT: For those of you worrying about getting a charge, this is straight from the Sprint call forwarding policy...

"
Calls that are forwarded by default to voicemail or mobile messaging are not charged the standard $.20 per minute rate. Calls received when you set unconditional Call Forwarding (*72), Call Forward Busy (*74), and Call Forward No Answer (*73) are charged at $.20 per minute.
"

As I promised here are the Screenshots




And for those of you that need the VM cab, here you go

WOW even works with cricket.

update: well i called 2 more times, and on my 4th time talking to someone, they did it.

I told them that I had started a new job and we were unable to take our phones inside near sensitive equipment, so they were having everyone use a new voicemail service so that we could still receive messages on the computers. of course that is all a lie, but it worked- he said no problem, I asked multiple times if it was conditional and there would be no charge- he confirmed.

I talked to 2 different Tier 2 techs and they made it clear that .20 a minute would be charged... I'm going to look into this some more tho.

i installed 2 days ago, and called to confirm that everything is set up correctly, and guess what the response was, "since we are not suposed to change it i'm going to change it back..."

wtf.
