Hello All,
So I know that the Inc comes with VVM but I don't really want to pay for a month service if I don't have too.
Second I know Google Voice does a decent job with visual voice mail but I'm looking for something to use with the phone number on my phone not a new number.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what to try out? I'm more curious if it's a useful feature or more of just a waste of time. I've heard of YouMail but I haven't found very many good reviews on it.
Any suggestions for apps are greatly appreciated or of course if you think it's not even worth trying out I'll take that too.
Thanks in advance,
-Flawless
Use Google voice. It does exactly what you want, with your current number.

Just use Google voice, no one has to know that you have another number..

I've used youmail.com on my droid and 2 blackberries in the past, i love it. it doesn't do transcription for free, but everything else is. and you can block specific people from leaving your messages if you want.
Hi, does anybody knows if there is a call Filtering App for WP7 or if there is one in works?
As far as I know that's impossible with the current API.
There is no current application that can do that at this time.
Thank u for the info, This is feuture I need, I really like my Samsung Focus; but until i'm able to get a call filter app for I ieatehr will return the phone and get an andorit phone, or i just going to keep using my HD2 untils there is a app that filter calls.
You could use Google Voice as a workaround to filter your calls for you... That's the solution I'm using now and it works well.
Trying to see what there is for visual voicemail.. I've used good voice previously on Evo and just came back from an iPhone. Really miss this feature. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I use Google Voice exclusively. It has visual voicemail and it also lets you text/call from your computer which is a huge time saver.
I was trying to use google voice but I couldn't get it to validate.
google voice is great, I had issues getting it to work until I created a new google voice number instead of just a fowarding/voice mail number and then added the device through the web platform. It has worked ever since.
There is no build in visual voicemail for android afaik. Apple came up with their own protocol for that. As for 3rd party options, there is google voice like everybody mentioned but if you can't/don't want to use google voice then there are some apps on the market which require you to forward your unanswered calls to their number. There is always the privacy issue though which is why I do not use them.
I use Google voice on Verizon there's a YouTube video that I followed and work very well. Just go to your Google/voice.com and get a Google voice number and set it up like that.

To use Google Voice for voice mail you have to enable conditional call forwarding. For Verizon this is as easy as dialing *71 and then the 10 digit number. For Sprint I don't think it is that easy. You may want to call their customer care. Hopefully you can get it working, I'm not sure I could live without mine.

Thanks for the info. Will try gv again.
PF Voicemail+ it's free on the market and I've been using since the OG Droid days. It's perfect. I like the fact that it'll let you play the voicemail either over speaker or through the actual headset. Try it out :O

I use google voice. It is not the best at transcribing the voicemail, but you can play, pause, and delete right from the app.

Yes, I know, rebooting an old Thread. But it's better than starting a new one, right??
Based on reading this thread, as well as some other looking around I have done, it seems the only real options for free VVM are Google Voice, Youmail, or Visual Voicemail Plus.
I cannot use Google Voice. Not that I don't like it. I love using GV. However, my cell number is tied to the GV account that I use for work, so that I basically have a dual line cell phone (my VZW Number for normal stuff and the GV number for work stuff). With that, I cannot give my cell number to another GV account to get VoiceMail.
The market reviews for both YouMail and Visual Voicemail Plus leave much to be desired. Seems that for every review that says it is great, is a review that says it is crap. But, most people just review the app when it is causing issues, so it is not always a great idea to put stake in reviews. Wondering what the opinion is of people here.
I'm relatively new to the Epic so maybe I'm just missing something obvious, but I have run into a real issue with voice dialing via BT.
When I hit the talk button on my BT device and say "Call Home" it immediately starts dialing, and in almost every case it's the wrong contact.
Is there some way to get a voice prompt/confirmation before the dialing starts?
Download another voice dialer from the Play store. Top Voice Control used to work well for me.

Thanks for the option, but it's asking me to install a TTS (text to speech) library even though I already have one installed...

Just let it grab one from the Play store for free. It will go through the install process. It should have recognized the one you had though.

I've also used GrooveIP - although the last time I tried there was a nasty lag and echo, on both LTE and Wifi.
+1 for grooveIP. Tweak your settings to remove echo, I dont have any issues with sound quality.
