Well i hear my greeting, but i still have to type in my password to hear my voicemails. But to be clear NO i dont dial 8132000200 to access my voicemail (if i wanted to hear them in the speaker instead of playing them on the phone with WMP)

What do you get when you dial 8132000200?

oh never tried that, let me get my phone and try now


EDIT: update
It recognizes my phone, because it says "Please enter your password, followed by the pound sign".
I enter my password and i can hear my phonefusion voicemails

I understand yours doesnt do that, but u can check your phonefusion voicemails on your phone with no problem? You only have 1 number(your cellphone) set as the destination number at phonefusion?
ANd if u dont get the message i do, if u wanted to hear the messages through the earpiece, how do u hear them?

Mine does do that, thats what i mean when it says it works perfectly. but if yours is setup right, you shouldn't be able to call your old voicemail number because they have disconnected it. it seems as if when you call your old voicemail number its automatically forwarding yours to phone fusion, that may result in charges.

The only thing i had to do was go to phone, settings, then change my voicemail number physically on my phone, so that way if i have to listen to it in private, i can still do it the old way.

oh wow, i hope this isnt the case!
but why cant it be that , just like u would check your sprint voicemail, it dials phonefusion because the number to sprint voicemail has simply been changed to the 813 number?
like the basis here, is to actually make no changes to call forwarding, no answer etc,the only thing to change is the number that sprint's voicemail goes to

because to my understanding, they dont turn off sprint voicemail, u just change the number that sprint voicemail points to? if thats the case then I could see why dialing my cellphone goes to phonefusion: sprint voicemail is on, just that the number for sprint voicemail is now 813blah...
understand?

correct they are changing it to the new number you give them which is 813200200. So if they change it, your old voicemail number is gone, so by you trying to call it, thats why we get this is no longer a sprint recognized voicemail number.

but when u call it, shouldnt u be calling whatever number sprints voicemail is switched to? like basically sprints voicemail should never get a call forwarded it, because no link/number points to it

can you explain why/how if you dial your phonenumber, it would get sent to sprints voicemail when sprints voicemail forwarding number no longer is attached to your cellphone number??
Like when you call your number from your cell, or even from your house or business, no matter what, the only voicemail number to be seen is the 8132000200 number correct? Im just trying to figure out how sprint says that 813 is an invalid number on their system,because u should have no way of connecting to your old sprint voicemail correct?(cause the number has been change) how are u able to do that?

correct sprints number is no longer attached which is why we get that error message when we call. But you don't get an error message, you get forwarded to your new voicemail number you gave them. it says 813 is an invalid number because your actual phone number is still your number, but we just changed the voicemail number. Since we changed it, when you dial your number you have to access sprints voicemail service because your phone number is still tied to sprint, and when you access sprints voicemail system, your voicemail number has been changed but your still in sprints system, and since sprint is not providing you with the 813 number you get an error. When you dial the 813 directly, your not accessing sprints voicemail service, you're accessing phone fusion, i hope this explains it, but its hard for me to put in writing sorry, I was a business & engineering major, meaning i'm good at math not writing.

jupiter im in the same case as you and whenever i call my own number from my phone i hear my phonefusiongreating like i could leave a message to myself.
hopefully we got it right. i called sprint to ask them if i had any forwarding charges but they said i had to wait till the bill was issued to see it. i was like wtf
