Sprints InstinctHD supports visual voicemail, why not TP??

**boredandtattooed** · #1 (**permalink**) 09-05-2009, 03:36 AM

was looking at Best Buy online, clicked on their mobile monthly catalog thing, and it shows instinctHD coming soon..if u click on the page, says right on it visual voicemail... i dont really know all the details behind why it was an issue, but WTF, native to an instinct, and TP users have to use tricks... not fair..

does that mean sprint will make it available period? viual voicemail that is?

well sprint didn't launch it for all phones a year and a half ago, the first instinct had visual voicemail, so why would they now?
and my guess would be sprint or samsung coughed up the royalty money for this specific model but yeah it would be nice to have across their entire line up, especially on the high end

actually i'm not 100% sure about the s30 but i'm pretty sure it has it too.
i never really looked at it (even though i sell it) because i figure it was a waste of silicon and plastic to manufacture

phonefusion has visual voicemail... But you have
to forward unanswered calls to a number they give
up at sign up.
