Sounds like that clarifies on the "forwarded by default to voicemail or mobile messaging are not charged" point you quote above. People seem to glance right over this... I guess you should probably add this piece to the first post as well, since you added your quote above.

Now understand, I'm NOT saying that you can't have this without being charged (I'm sure there are ways for Sprint reps to do this, and I'm sure their system isn't perfect). What I'm saying is, be aware of the above before you use this as your argument as to why you should get free forwarding.

Well I think its been clearly stated: The Visual voice mail is free, and you dont get charged for the forwarding. HOWEVER, yes, it is possible that you might get charged. Even when I got my voicemail changed, they told me I would get charged, they said anytype of forwarding I would be charged. BUT, I have not gotten charged. See the tech's may tell u one thing, but remember its not the techs that compute ur bill, its the sprint computers.The sprint computer will see it as simply a new voicemail number. If you have them change your the number your voicemail goes to only, you wont be charged.

I too was leary aboout getting charged(of course I dont want to pay .20 a minute). But REGARDLESS if the techs say u will get charged, it its on conditional forwarding(where THEY change it, not YOU by dialing *72 or whatever),you most likely will not be charged. So again, just call back in a day or 2 just to make sure you're on conditional and not being charged. If so, cancel the service.

So far the longest that ive seen a person to leave a voicemail is 1 minute, so dont be scared that somebody will leave you a 100 minute voicemail.
