considering it is a carriersoftware on the Voicemail End I couldn't immagine any reason it would work.

According to this article (and honestly i was just about to start a new thread about it) Visual voicemail has come to the G1, but isn't exclusive to android. It also works with windows mobile 5 and 6, and blackberries.

basically all the visual voicemail is is speech to text sent as an e-mail/text message. that conversion isn't happening on our phones so it doesn't matter if we install an app. the server side does the work and that server side has to be accepting the forward. there are companies that do this, but is it not free. and personally I don't want my voicemails getting stored on some 3rd party server(besides my carriers server anyways)

FYI, GrandCentral can do visual voice mail. However, I don't believe that they are any invitations available to join/use their free service.

yea, that functions exactly as I said, I just left out the fact that it gives you the option to listen to them in any order.

actually it requires call forwarding based on 3 conditions (busy, unavailable, no answer) and a person leaves a voicemail on their system instead of sprints. The system then communicates with custom software to send you the voicemail in an audio format.

The problem is, call forwarding isn't shown in my settings. WTF am I doing wrong?

NEVER F'N MIND PEOPLE! The way to get an outside vvm service to work requires call forwarding. The crooks at Sprint not only charge you 20 cents per minute for call forwarding, there's no conditional call forwarding. Meaning it's either off or on.

No wonder these stupid mothers are going under. Jesus

I checked out Fusion Voicemail Plus and it seems when you forward with sprint they charge you $.20 per minute. I have no idea of a workaround for this.

Anyone got any ideas. For the TP to forward with Sprint you type *73(xxx)xxx-xxxx for busy *74(xxx)xxx-xxxx for no answer and *75(xxx)xxx-xxxx for unavailable.
