http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-...udio-v1-0.html 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. |

Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free
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. |

Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free
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. :) |
Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free
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.

Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free
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. |
Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free
#1 Call:
Said I want to change "Default Voicemail". The tech said "are you using a 3rd party voicemail service?" I said "yes." He said no problem, put me on hold for 4 min, then asked for the new number, then over the next 10 min he repeatedly "tested" it by calling me and he couldn't get it to work (still answered by SprintVM). He wanted me to reset my phone, but I was on it, so he said "oh, thats why it isn't updating. If it doesn't work after you hang up, call back when you are on a land line." (He obviously didn't know what he was doing -lol) #2 Call: Said I want to change "Default Voicemail". He said "no problem" and immediatly asked for the new number. Put me on hold for 1 min, then said his supervisor said they can't do that because it circumvents their $0.20/min forwarding charge. I said the other guy tried to do it and asked what it was currently set to. It was 11+my-phone-number still, so the first tech didn't change a thing. (???) #3 Call: Said I want to change "Default Voicemail in your ESM system". They guy said no problem and immediatly asked for the new number. Put me on hold for 1 min, then said "I can't change the default voicemail, I can only change conditional or unconditional" (did not mention the word "forwarding" or any charge). I said "conditional I guess, but I was told to have you change the default". He said "sorry, I can only change conditional." I said "ok", and 30-seconds later he said "done, is there anything else I can help you with?" I said "nope, thanks" and hung up. I hope I don't get charged. If I do, I can honestly say the tech said absolutly nothing about any charge or even the word "forwarding". We will see. I think I will though, because it is not the default. The "default voicemail" is not called conditional or unconditional... it is a 3rd type... right? Anyway, it's working and I love it. I set the Home-Tab left softkey to "Voicemail" and had it run the app instead of "Phone" which is the same as pressing the hardware talk key. I hope I don't get charged. PS: I'd love it more if... 1) It showed contact name and picture, plus had an internal player with progress bar instead of launching Windows Media Player Mobile ...does any one know how to make it at least launch a different player? or 2) It just forwarded to GMail and I could some how tell the phone to only auto-download attachments from FVM. or 3) It just simply sent an MMS with the voice mail from the callers number. That would be awesome! |

Thanks for providing your awesome free VMplus service. |
Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free

If you mean you are calling your phone number, then you/sprint screwed something up while forwarding calls? |

My guess is that they put in the wrong number so I would call back to verify, the other possibility is that you may have messed something up when you sent it in to phonefusion, but I would call sprint first... PS sorry for the late reply |
Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free
this is bull**** i called 15 times and even called retentions and they wonr do it

Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free
Why is it BS? It has been stated many, many times in this thread that changing this default vm number is against Sprint policy. The fact that some people have got some reps to do it doesn't make it a right for everyone to have it.
|
Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free
its bs because its your phone number you should be able to choose where your voicemail goes. if other carriers allow it, why should sprint users be stuck with this garbage, having some reps do it and some not. maybe to be fair to their customers, they should revise everyones account and take the number off.

However, I have it because they "were" (and still are according to some) willing to do it, I wasn't tricking them, I told them exactly what I wanted and why I was doing it, and they were willing to do it.... And until I have a Sprint Supervisor take it off or tell me that they shouldn't have done that, then it is definitely not WRONG:drunken: |

but honestly, I bet they just told you that to get you off there back, way to much work for them to switch them all, but.....we'll see |
Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free
I am still wondering how everyone having the same voice mail number is kept straight?

Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free
maybe this will show sprint the popularity of vvm on phones other than the instinct. it can't be cheap or a good use of time/resources for sprint to go back and change all these accounts, if that's what they are really doing.

Anyway, like I said before until I get a call from a supervisor to tell me that the rep did something they shouldn't have, then to me it is not against there policy. I have yet to see anything from sprint saying that we can't do this:drunken: |
Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free
I think with the number of people who have been told it is not supposed to be done compared to the people who have had it done for them, it's safe to say that Sprint does not want people to circumvent the system to use a 3rd party vm service. I never said it was wrong for anyone to call and ask for it to be done. Hell, I did the same thing. My point was, knowing Sprint didn't want people to be able to do this, I didn't get upset or bent out of shape when I was turned down and no one else should either. If you got it to work, that's awesome for you. If you didn't, don't sweat it.

Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free
Yeah...I'd be surprised if they go back and change it like someone mentioned earlier. I'd think they have bigger things to worry about than that.

Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free
I'm sorry. Don't mean to be a bother. Not lazy or anything. Just at work and hard to keep up with all the pages on this thread.
My friend has Diamond on Altel network. Visual VM for her is that her VM comes to her phone in form of text. I don't know anyone who has Instict to see for my self. But my co worker's wife has Instinct. And the way he descibed Vivual VM is that she can choose a msg and it simply plays that msg. She has option to delete, choose which msg to listen to etc...., but he doesn't think they have option of VM coming to her in text form. My question is with this method decribed in this thread, is it like the Instinct's as descibed to me by my co worker, or is it like my friend's methon on Altel? That is my deciding factor. I want/prefer the Altel version of VVM. Thanks. |

It actually does come in the form of a text but not in the way you think. The text is not readable(at least to us) and is picked up by the program before you will ever see it. The program just lets you choose which ones you want to here and lets you play/delete them... Hope that helps |
Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free
I just tried this an the tech said that I would have to setup *72 and do that good stuff, I told them that I don't want to setup call forwarding because I don't want to be charged money. He said "well, that's the only way to get it done or call PhoneFusion" I told him that I would just call back and speak to another tech. Then kindly said thank you for your "help" ha ha Then I found this on the PhoneFusion site ""When you call up Sprint, the first thing to do is ask for Tech Support right away. They are the only ones who can set up the correct forwarding - Customer Service can’t. Ask the Tech Support representative to change the "Call Forward/Busy" and
"Call Forward/No Answer" fields (NOT Unconditional Call Forwarding) to the Fusion Voicemail Plus number - 813-200-0200. The Tech Support representative will authorize and activate the feature. There is no additional charge for this service, unlike regular unconditional call forwarding which charges $0.20 per usage."" http://support.phonefusion.com/index...barticleid=258 |
