How To: Set Up Visual Voicemail on your Sprint TP for Free(Working soon!)

[mgioia2]

I got it to work, even though i got the message about the error code not being correct, it still worked when i left myself a message. (Using PhoneFusion)

I tried to get this set up thru Sprint and they said since I have a Corporate discount on my plan, I can only call forward busy. I can not use any of the other Conditional call forwarding features like no answer. Anybody else had this issue?

Wow What a joke! Sometimes don't you wanna just give em the finger...


Here's my question though! Sprint is my carrier as well and I have the Touch Pro 2 and if you go under the personal phone settings in Windows Mobile a screen will come up allowing you to change the alerts for everything under the sun and underneath that it says CDMA Settings: and just below it says Voicemail: and has a box that allows you to edit the voicemail number. Mine is currently set to my phone number obviously since I haven't set up call forwarding yet but if I change this number will it work or will be charged the $.20 a minute in doing so? Instead of being a call forwarding option this more or less seems like the voicemail number it's going to dial into after a no answer has occured..

I did this with my touch pro 2. It worked. *28 813-200-0200 is all you need to dial. Rep told me I wouldn't be charged, and if I am, there's a note on my account that says to remove any charges.

I'm just curious as to know if this might be another easier way for TP2 owners to change the number they want the phone to dial when going to your vm box

I had to manually change it. Start>settings>personal>phone then right there on the first tab (phone) I put in 1(813) 200-0200 as my voicemail number. When you down 1, it speed dials to that number now.

ok great but how do you keep phonefusion from going straight to VM which is what mine is doing. despite all these codes everyone is having me try.

I just used *28 then the phone fusion number, and to get back to normal voicemail you just dial *38 and nothing else.

The other *74 and *73 ones probably aren't needed.

just got off the phone with sprint to change the voicemail number.
He was willing to change the voicemail no problem, but at the end of the call he stated "You will be chargered .20 cents a minute for call forwarding".

So what is it? Will it be charged or no?

tell him to f off. Just dial *28 before the voicemail number. I think its 813 200 0200. To get it back to normal voicemail dial *38.

Read through the last few pages here man.

Guys, there is no reason to call sprint to set this up. to set up unconditional (all calls get fowarded, no ring) dial *72 and the number. this is the one they charge for. to set up the one everyone needs for VV, dial *42 and the number. *420 clears fowarding. Enjoy.
