Default Visual Voicemail

Hey guys,

Forgive me I am new to the Verizon family as I just came from the Evo on Sprint.

Is there no way to get visual voicemail for free on Verizon? It never even crossed my mind that this would not be possible. I honestly don't know though if my visual voicemail on Sprint was standard or the result of my rooted rom on the Evo.

Anyone?

Thanks!

If you have a Google Voice account, you can use that as your phone's voicemail provider, giving you visual voicemail.

I do have an account, shortly before I switched I "integrated" GV with my Evo and boy was that slick. I'll search for a guide on how to do it the normal way.

Just download the GV app to your phone and it should walk you through the process.

You'll probably need a new (separate) GV number, though, now that you've ported the original.

Nope I didn't. Worked great.

I actually prefer YouMail. Since I discovered it several years ago, in my WM days, the functionality offered by it has caused me to immediately disregard all carrier VM options. As a matter of fact, my VZW VM isn't even setup, ~2 years after switching from AT&T.
