Default Visual VM

I downloaded the Visual VM app from the market, but it doesnt work. It installs, but I still get voicemails the traditional way where you have to call in. Anyone have any luck?

It wasn't working for me either yesterday on my slide. I wonder if it has something to do with the communication to T-Mobile. I went back to old trusty Google Voice...provides practically the same functions as visual voicmail, plus you can have the voicemails transcribed to text and can listen to the voicemails from the computer.

tmobile visual voicemail isn't great...I use youmail, and I love it. It's a free service, and the app has instructions on how to make it work...give it a try...

I believe you have to call up t-mobile.

They will add the android visual voicemail service for free.

Use Google Voice, honestly, the tmobile vm isn't too good.

Google voice is tied to your gmail account, so there's that too.
