Visual Voicemail

[dewhite04]

Got my Captivate on Saturday and I'm still trying to make myself at home with the how things get done with Android.

I'm coming from BB Bold 9000, which had visual voicemail support.

Is visual voicemail available for Android on AT&T at this time? If so, is it in-built, or do I need to download something from the market?

Thanks!

Go with a 3rd party option like youmail. It has its own app and is free.

Easy way is to install Google voice, sign up for Google voice and set it up via wth web and you get all the great options of visual voice mail, plus transcription. Lots of web tutorials on how to do it and if you already syncing gmail, this goes right along with it.

Tried YouMail - liking it so far. Thanks!

Has anyone successfully downloaded the Google Voice App? I have tried several times and continually get a 'download unsuccessful' message.

Thanks,

I'm surprised AT&T doesn't offer VVM for the Captivate. Usually they lock n'load every money-milking feature they can onto their phones.

I downloaded and installed without a problem. It would not auto setup my phone, so I just went online to GV and got the instructions for typing it into the phone.
