Thread: AT&T to support Visual Voicemail with .297

More info on VVM:

1. VVM's integrate into regular message list and can be deleted from there without even accessing the VVM app. This is really handy if you want to clean them up in a hurry. You can also hit the BB key and select Forward As and forward voicemails as an audio file via MMS or Email. Very cool

2. Notification pops up with incoming message and shows the contact pic you have saved for that person (assuming they're in your contacts).



3. Here is the notification you will see on your app menu or homescreen (will vary depending on your theme).

Any way to have it not go into the Message folder?

If there is, I cannot find it. It did that on the Storm also if I'm remembering correctly.

I don't mind it too much.....just don't like getting a VM icon and a Email icon for every VVM message. I guess I can't complain over something that's free.

To me that is far outweighed by the ability to delete them from the message list. May take a little getting used to but I love it. Plus it seems the messages come through much faster than when I was on the Storm with VZW. They seemed to lag and often wouldn't come through for hours/days.

Hey does VVM works with OS 5.0.0.130? if yes how? i have the icon and tried to set up but not successful. Any help and guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

It should work. You will need to call AT&T and have them provision your account. If you don't want a hassle, wait and do it tomorrow when it's "officially" available.

thanks morganizer thanks for prompt guidance. I will wait i think.

By tomorrow they should know but if they act lost, tell them to lookup code BBVV in their Phoenix Billing System

If I am already provisioned and am receiving vvm on .266 do I have to re-provision if I upgrade to .297 or am I good to go with all future os's?

No your provisioning is not OS specific. As long as your OS supports VVM and you have it installed you will be able to use it

Thanks for clearing that up. Any idea exactly when .297 will be available? Midnight Eastern time?

That is what my AT&T source told me but he is not always 100% correct lol. Certainly tomorrow sometime

Visual Voicemail... what a lovely feature...

I have VVM working now (in spite of ATT tech supports "help") - but does anyone know if there is a way to get the replay audio through Bluetooth? I tried the Telenav trick of pushing the speakerphone key followed by the space key but it does not seem to work.

Thanks,
