Guest pavankp Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 I installed SimulSays, a beta application that enables visual voicemail for Windows Mobile. Now I am able to see a list of all my voicemails with who sent them and when. I can listen to any particular message and respond to / delete it. All in all, a great feature to have. One small kink is that an incoming voicemail is not communicated to the phone as a voicemail -- so the voicemail indicator does not come on, and the homescreen plugin that shows me a count of my voicemails shows nothing as well. Has anyone here managed to find a fix for this problem?

Has anyone here managed to find a fix for this problem? wow! i didnt know such a thing even existed! i thought the whole visual voicemail was something AT&T was only doing with the iphone, i didnt know it could be done on windows mobile. well i dont think the iphone has anything that windows mobile doesnt, except for MultiTouch, and lack of many many features... EDIT: btw, im seeing things everywhere that has to due with billing and credit card numbers. does program cost? or due we get billed everytime we recieve a voicemail? i think i will cancel my account until im sure about this.

I didn't have to give them any credit card number. If you sign up for the 1-week trial of "convert voicemail to text" service (I think they call it SimulScrive or something), then they might ask you for a credit card. I didn't sign up for that one.

I didn't sign up for that one. well i emailed them and the way they make it sound, i would get a free week trial of the "visual" part of the voicemail, but otherwise i just get the audio. Mike, There is a 7 day free trial with our transcription service... Using visual voicemail is a free service... Having your messages transcribed is the part of the service that we charge for... Hope that answers your question. Team Simulscribe Mike, Transcription means they would not be turned into text… you’d still get the wav files and they would appear in email or any other of the methods you request…. But you would not get the written form of the message…. Mike Team Simulscribe EDIT: i just realized i was looking at everything the wrong way. we can use the free service, and still see who the voicemail is from. it's just having the message itself converted to text is what we pay for...
