Anyway, I don't think that anyone will get this to work anymore for free, I set my GFs up the exact same way as mine and she got charged so I deactivated hers...

I had to do the samething, i'm getting mine for free, but my gf's they won't do hers.

Anyway, that other guy said he had a new cab that was giving him additional features, I want this but it sounds as if he is fibbing.

Just caught your post. I wasn't subscribed to the thread. Are you on Alltel? If so PM me and I'll give you the info on the unreleased update that I have with caller ID and contact pic.

I also use troca 2 to drive the audio off the speaker and into the earpiece I also use troca for skype.

why would u delete it? Some people might still be able to get it for free or some people might not get a lot of voicemails and don't mind a few forwarding charages.

I'm still waiting to see my bill, should be somewhat soon. Just cause some of you have talked to a couple idiot csrs who don't know anything, that makes some of you think that you know everything which you don't. You get a different answer from sprint any time you call. That's just how it is and always will be. It's certainly possible that I get charged, I just don't know yet. If I do get charaged, oh well. I will try and get it fixed, if I can't I'll just go back to regular voicemail. Just cause some of you don't know how to handle sprint, doesn't mean you should tell the rest of us not to give it a try. Stop acting like you know everything cause you have talked to 2 csrs. Some issues with sprint I have had, I have had to talk to 5+ csrs before I finally get what I want or till I find someone that knows what's up. It's a total crap shoot

I work at a service center for Sprint, and used to work in the local mall doing Sales, and it's true...You call up cust care/tech support, there is a high chance you will get someone who has no idea what they are doing. if it doesn't work out right, hang up, call back again...I had to do this 5-6 times to get a customer set up with his new phone, and it took about 3 hours, but he was happy.

Anywho, concerning this visual voicemail... The second tech i spoke to said unfortunately they disabled the option for them to change the voicemail number, even for their own accounts, as he was trying to do the same thing...They did this about a month to a month and a half ago. He said it was due to some one bouncing signals off towers for other countries, i think... But he also mentioned the one he was looking at using was from www.vodavi.com and it had a built-in windows mobile client. Just wanted to throw this out there...

(Also, I am currently severely sleep deprived, but couldn't go to bed until i spoke to at least 2 technicians.)

Peace.

This doesn't work anymore, it's against the policy to change where the VM goes. You can set up your own foward by using the #72number but that's it.

it didnt work for most from the getgo. This thread probably should get deleted as sprint has become privy to the information and there's no point in even trying anymore.

the people this works for are basically ripping off sprint but can you blame them? It's another loophole made by sprint's stupidity which is causing them to lose money. Just like SERO plans for people who aren't employees or have never even known a sprint employee and untraceable internet tethering. the only difference now is sprint has has told all it's employees about this "exploit" and they put a stop to it.

I really wish I got this working for myself though lol

Trying to get people to stop. It only gets you charged, and nobody likes charges. So just leave it be, someone should really note the top of this thread or erase it.
