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

i just called and the tech told me he cant and has "strict" policies and cannot change the voice mail number and that im provided a voice mail and are forced to use that only.:x

[EDIT]

i tried again and this time they told me they cant because its not affiliated with sprint but that i could sign up for enhanced voice mail. screw that:x

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

I would keep trying. I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I have changed it three times... CallWave - Phonefusion and then back to call wave.

I don't really care for the phone fusion application. it sends a tm to your phone when you have a new voicemail. if the phone fusion app is not running I did not find a way to update the VM on the phone.

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

I set up one of our work phones and didn't have any problems. She didn't wanna do it at first but I explained to her I need all 3 settings set to conditional. She put me on hold a min, came back and it was done. We did a test call while she was still on the phone. Took less than 5 min. I will just have 2 keep an eye on the bill.

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

You will definitely get charged. The people who got this set up correctly and were not charged did NOT have conditional call forwarding activated.

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

FVM works great for Alltel. Forwarding is free. Add the FVM 800 number to your my circle and remove the alltel voicemail from your plan, saving $2. Never missed a voicemail and the current FVM app I am using has caller ID working and empty trash automatically on exit. Next revision will have contact pictures included as well.

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

The original post said to make sure it is set that way, so worth a shot. Will keep an eye on the bill

Plus dude you need 2 chill out, you could have talked to 100 people at sprint, it doesn't matter. I have been calling Sprint for YEARS and anyone that has talked to sprint multiple times knows that every time you call them you get a different answer. When I do have to call sprint I just always keep in mind that I may have to call 2 or 3 times to get what I want since they train all there reps with monkeys. You wouldn't take advice from a monkey would you? Worse case I get billed, I call in see if I can get it fixed, if not I have it changed back. Whoop dee doo

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

Thanks I didn't know an update was available, I'm about to download it now.

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

I know it does. For whatever reason the OP hasn't been updated with accurate information. Trust me though, and many of the 100+ people that posted before you, you will be charged. Unconditional AND conditional call forwarding results in a charge of $.20/minute. It has been posted countless times in this thread that the ONLY way to get this done successfully is to have them leave the conditional and unconditional call forwarding alone and just change the default voicemail number. I'm not trying to argue, just trying to make sure you have the right info.

For what it's worth, with a thread this long, the OP really needs to be cleaned up and updated with more accurate info.

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

Hafrust is right you will be charged. This thread is hella long so you probably didn't read thru it, but there is no way to get this working for sprint anymore for free, you will be charged. Other carriers such as verizon and at&t will not charge for this service but sprint will charge you $.20 per each voicemail.

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

I don't know how you got that working on a touch pro, but I just downloaded the most recent version of the file and it doesn't pull the caller id, that shouldn't have anything to do with the network. What version of the phonefusion are you using? I'm using version 1.11f

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

interesting...

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

*bump*

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

I asked Phonefusion about 2 weeks ago and they said they did not have an update ready or a set date to release one, not sure what that is all about....

Anyway, I haven't updated the OP because that is what worked when i set it up, I probably shouldn't have even mentioned conditional because thats not even really an option under the VM # settings, it is either Unconditional checked or unchecked, but that is what I did....

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...

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

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.

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

I have VisualVoice mail working on my phone, haven't gone though a billing cycle yet, I have checked my account and so far no extra charges.

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

well since this seems to no longer work for free...can we delete the post yet????

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

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

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

Update:

Got my Sprint Bill in today

83 Call Forwarding @ $ 20/min $16.60

I'm calling to get my voicemail switched back

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

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.

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

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.

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

Sprint is so retarded it's not even funny anymore. By using an off net service for your voicemail you're actually saving them money, they don't have to store you VM messages anymore.. another reason I feel good for selling my stock after the earnings pop.

Maybe we should all email Dan hahaha - One tought tho, if you have the unlimited plan are you charged for forwarding? Probably burried in the fine print, I'm too lazy to look.

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

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.

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

nothing new there...did you not read the entire thread, or even the last 20-30 posts?

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

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

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

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.

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

Hahaha!!! That's too funny.

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

Epic Win indeed. It also doesn't help that he listed our direct line...

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

Epic Win?
Hows that so??
Why?
If I am understanding you correctly, you actually dont want this to work..and your point is.....


Sounds like you work for sprint??

Again, Why would you be happy that they now have a SH1TT1er product?

Unless I am reading you wrong...

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

OUCH, leaving this crap ALONE for real.

Thanks for the info.

:violent2: Mods should close this thread! :violent2:

-s

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

Well, all that being said,
Does anyone know if this can be acheived by just turning off the VM box totally, and having it all handled on the phone?? I guess this idea would work, but would require someone to write a low-resource hungry program to actually capture the audio clip and have it on the phone.

Maybe something a good mind here can figure out??

Or, is this not possible??

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

It was written with a hint of sarcasm. Yes, I believe that person works for Sprint, but their point was that since the chances of getting this to work without being charged are so slim, it might be better if people stop trying to avoid angst and frustration.

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

i sure hope your right!

I also hope that maybe we can get a program that can do it on the phone w/o having to pay extra for it.

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

how can you set it up use * commands? what is the exact sequence? I don't care if I have to pay, sprint's voicemail sucks, I get my messages 2 days later

Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free(No Longer Working)
 

The new update for FVM+ is nice, I just downloaded it and it now shows the name and pic instead just showing the number, also receives faxes directly to your phone.

Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free(No Longer Working)
 

FYI...I got charged too. Figured I'd give it a try.

Please let this thread die! Quit bringing it back to life. Even I'm doing bad by posting. Look what you made me do.

Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free(No Longer Working)
 

yes they charged me for three months 30 plus dollars so you know I dropped it off and it was a fight to get those charges removed so needless to say good bye to that program for good.

Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free(No Longer Working)
 

my bad, btw I never got charged for anything, took 3 calls, just have to talk to someone who knows what they are doing. Let the thread die I guess.

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

Thanks for seeing that LOL.:headbang:

Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free(No Longer Working)
 

I was not charged for the first 6 months or so... but I am getting charged now but it is worth it. Callwave provides me a TM and the wave file in email. The only bad thing is my daughter keeps calling my phone on accident (several times a month) and these CF minutes add up.

Re: How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free(No Longer Working)
 

Just got word that sprint will be offering visual voice mail this to users this summer...what the tech guy didnt know was if they were gonna charge.....
