Sprint Frees Up YouMail Visual Voicemail for BlackBerry, gPhone Subscribers
Sprint is offering YouMail's Visual Voicemail service to BlackBerry and Android smartphone woners at no extra charge. YouMail provides users with access to a voicemail inbox right on their phone.
"YouMail has been overwhelmed with requests from Sprint users wanting our service to work with no extra fees," according to company CEO Alex Quilici. "Sprint has done a great service to the wireless community by eliminating their previous 20 cents per minute charge for conditional call forwarding and making it easy for users to set up the conditional call forwarding that services like YouMail require."
Here's what YouMail lets users do:
Scroll through incoming voicemail messages to see relevant caller information including caller name, time of call, and length of message
Play voicemails by clicking on them
Unlock voicemail to share and forward voice messages as an e-mail or post to a blog
Delete, archive or save voicemails
There are two ways for Sprint subscribers to select YouMail as their mobile voicemail:
Go to BlackBerry App World or the Android Market to download YouMail's visual voicemail app, which then takes users through the sign-up and call forwarding process.
Go to www.youmail.com and sign up for a YouMail account and follow the instructions for forwarding unanswered calls to YouMail.
While the basic YouMail service is free, VoicMail Transcription services are available as a premium, however. A year's worth of transcriptions is valued at $329.99.
