That is not just a phone feature. I think I read that AT&T had to totally re-do thier voicemail system to be able to provide that for the iphone.

The only way to get that is by letting someone other than your carrier handle the voicemail. For example, grandcentral.com has visual voicemail via their mobile web interface (free). However, you would have to setup your voicemail to be handled by them instead of with your carrier. It's possible as I've read threads where others have used 3rd party voicemail providers. I have not done this myself, so I can't explain how its done.

Check out this wiki for other options - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_voicemail

I did set this up with sprint(another voicemail provider. callwave.com). It was an up hill battle and then I got $80 in charges for call forwarding. IT WAS VERY HARD. I had reps tell me it was impossible and gave many codes to dial that didnt work.

Apparently, you have to contact tech support rather than customer support to get the correct free forwarding setup as customer service is clueless. I did some reading after my post yesterday and standard call forwarding does charge while No Answer Call Forwarding, Busy Call Forwarding, and Unreachable Call Forwarding are supposedly free. See the link below for more info.

I believe this is for people who have systems at work that forward voicemails as emails. I do not think this can intercept incoming calls on the ppc and then record the voicemails.

As Stroths said Grand Central offers visual voicemail. But it's only for the number that they issue you. For example, you give out your Grand Central number which can be forwarded to any number you want. You can forward it to home, cell, etc. all at the same time. You can than log in to your GC account and "see" who has left you a voice mail if you missed their call.

late,
Coz
