does EVO have visual voicemail?

[Cr12]

i miss this so much from my stupid instanct of yesteryear.

just curious

 

[storino03]

i think it does. i have visual voicemail on my samsung moment.

 

[Cr12]

that would be amazing, i love being able to see the messages rather than having to listen to the stupid sprint lady for 5 mins and try to figure out where the messages came from

I'd be interested in it as well. I didn't see it listed as a feature in the owners manual posted online....perhaps one of the lucky early Evo'ers can fill us in

My Hero has visual voicemail, I believe it is a feature of the Sense UI (Most likely wrong). If you have Google Voice, that is my recommendation for visual voice mail. That is what I'm using to have visual voice mail...

Yea, it does have visual voicemail.

Do you have to set your voicemail to skip your password if you want it to auto-download your messages, or do you have to call your voicemail to have them download?

 

[cheebahawk1]

You can set it to not check password from your phone, which is just like the iPhone so I'm assuming it downloads and you can listen.

I can confirm it has visual voice mail.

It also does auto download... at least for me. I had it skip my password on my phone.

Same question here?

Just open the voicemail app. When you open it, there's even a voicemail message waiting for you that tells you how to use it.

I deleted that message and when i go into voicemail i can listen to the message but that is all.

You must personalize it first then it works right off the bat. Never had it and I'm loving it!!!

Yep, just go through the steps. I downloaded Google Voice but can't figure it out. It would be pretty neat to see the voicemails speech to text, but still, the HTC version is way better than calling!

 

[akarol]

Personally, I don't see a reason for Google Voice so I steered away from it. However, the Spring one will work the same way. It doesn't transcribe (speech2text) like GV does though.

 

[whippingboy]

SAY WHAT? The whole point of visual voicemail is TRANSCRIPTION. What is the EVO visual voicemail? An overglorified call log?

 

[akarol]

Well, it acts like the iPhone's. Basically it allows you to see who called you, when, for how long, and lets you listen, pause, etc, without going through the pain-in-the-butt calling and clicking dialpad keys method. It's simpler.

Thats why i thought i was missing something, i thought the voicemail would be in text.
