I know this is an odd question but...

What exactly is visual voicemail? I am on O2 in the UK. Do I get it on my pixel 2 XL?

Might have to search for it on the Google Play Store

It is voicemail you can look at it to play messages.

It should be in the phone app (top right). It means you can look and see you have a message from 800-123-4567 and tap the play icon to listen to it -- versus the old days of having to call a number and use an automated system in order to listen to your voicemail.

Ah ok. Many thanks. I am such a techie but for some reason I have just never understood that term and felt too embarrassed to ask. But AC is so friendly I thought I would ask anyway. Still this question may help some other people too ashamed to ask... Hugs x

Any idea why some also display visual text so you can read the message and some do not?

Usually you need the premium voicemail from your carrier to have voice-to-text voicemail.

Others that have it by default usually are on something like T-Mobile which includes that within their HD upgrade (a lot of people got the free HD upgrade on a promo when it was offered).

My phone app looks like this. Can't see where the VM would be situated.

A 400 gig micro sd card for FLAC files and other hi res audio files. It's also nice to have the card so you can easily keep all your pictures and videos on your phone when you upgrade phones. Really wish more phone makers had micro sd card slots.

You can also use Google Voice for free visual voice mail. It's works great.

I'm on Verizon and have visual voicemail in my phone app.

Verizon also has it due to them being the exclusive partner in the US.

Thanks for the clarification.
