"Visual Voicemail" without the iPhone

For anyone interested, there is a method that will give you visual voicemail on any phone/pda with direct push capabilities in the USA.
1. Goto www.callwave.com and sign up for their FREE voicemail service (US ONLY)
2. If you don't have access to an exchange server already (for Direct Push mail) sign up for free access at www.mail2web.com, or any place you'd like, I use mail2web because it's free
3. Now, log into your callwave phonepage (link in on the top right on main callwave page) and goto settings. Enter your mail2web (or whatever) address as your email address. then goto (I think.. accounts) the far right tab. Disable text messaging notification (unless you want that as well) and enable email notification. Check the box to have it attach a .wav file of the message.
4. Set up activesync on your pda/phone.... goto messaging and options, select outlook e-mail. Enter the server and login information for whatever exchange server you set up.
Now, open activesync on your device and and goto menu - schedule. I prefer to have mine sync when new items arrive, that way as soon as a new message comes in you'll get it.
Ok, now you should be all set, sorry if I missed anything, post any questions and I'll try to respond quickly.
*** Reasons this is awesome ***
1. If you are transfering data when a call comes in, it will notify you of missed call/voicemail while you are still transfering.
2. Person call doesn't even have to leave a message, you can have it notify you of any missed call, so if your phone is off when you turn it on you'll see all calls, not just voicemails.
3. Callwave actually transcribes the voicemail, so in the body of the email you recieve will be an attempt at speech to text of the voicemail.
4. Voicemail messages are archives online at your Callwave PhonePage, so you can go back and search for old voicemails by typing anything from that voicemail in the search box
5. You can still call in to get messages just like standard voicemail, personal greeting and all that (just call your own # from your phone)
6. If the person calling has a blocked/private # it will still show the number in the email!
I also did a reg edit of the "friendlyname" Outlook E-mail. so my today screen says: Voicemail : 1 new msg
With this method you basically have iphone like visual voicemail, you goto your inbox and pick which ever message you want to hear, click the attachment and it opens in you media player. Or you can get an idea of what the message is about just by reading the text of the email.
Sorry if anyone of this is hard to understand, writing in a hurry because I'm at work.
Post any questions/comments.

Any programmers out there
One other thing..
Don't know if it's possible, but if there are any programmers out there that could make an application that would run on the pda that could connect to callwave and allow you to listen, delete voicemails. They have widgets/gadgets that you can add to google/yahoo/Vista that do that, is there anyway to incorporate that into a pda application??

This does not, under any circumstances, work with Sprint. Just FYI.

There is no reason in the world this will not work with sprint..it doesn't even have anything to DO with sprint....the only part you might have to do different is find out how to set "conditional call forwarding" to forward all calls when phone is busy to the new voicemail phone #. All the poster has presented is a method to have voicemails routed to email..the only difference between callwave and other services like k7.net and simulsays.com is that callwave currently is beta testing a "voice to text" transcription service and includes a "mostly readable" text version of the attached wav voicemail. When they start charging I can switch over to a free service like k7.net in about 5 minutes and the voice to text is the only part I will lose.

Yes, in theory you are correct. However, as you will clearly see on the CallWave website, they work with everyone BUT Sprint, because Sprint refuses to provision customer accounts to have this type of forwarding. And I can verify this, as I spent 1.5 hours of my time today, through 2 levels of tech support (3 different reps) all of whom ultimately came back and said "impossible".
From the CallWave Activation widget itself (from their website):
"CallWave works with most major carriers including Cingular, Verizon and TMobile. Unfortunately activation is not available for Sprint."
If someone has another method for using the service through Sprint, I would love to hear it.

Sorry about that...looked into it further and you are 100% correct. You CAN do call forwarding but it would end up costing you alot. Apparently sprint charges .10 to .20 a minute for call forwarding and gives you NO free conditional call forwarding minutes. Seems all the other providers have SOME method to do it. Bummer.
Ok..here is one post where they said they had it working and csr got it working for them again...
http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1481614&postcount=7
FYI, I had conditional call forwarding for my busy and no answer calls enabled for my sprint phone so that I could use youmail for voicemail and they also stopped working recently with no explanation.
The codes to enable them (*73 and *74) also no longer work and give an error.
I had to call Sprint and they were able to do it for me I just had to give them the number I wanted to forward to. The rep said that she didn't know about the old instructions but that she had gotten alot of calls recently of people with the same problem so she guessed that something had changed recently where you are no longer able to set this yourself. She didn't have any other information but my conditional call forwarding is working again so I'm happy.

So basically someone listens to your voicemail and then sends you the 'gist' of it? Sorry, I really don't need someone listening to my work voicemail and I don't think my patients would like that either.

Why on earth would you think they are listening to your voicemail? Have you never heard of speech recognition?
I think it might be exceedingly cost-ineffective to hire staff to transcribe a million voicemail messages. Thankfully some nice gentleman invented computers to make these tasks easier.

Exactly, it is completely computerized, the text of the voicemail is not all that accurate. If it was typed out by a person listening to your voicemail that person would have to a complete moron. That feature is useful only to give you an idea of what the voicemail is about, it's more entertaining to read them than it is useful however.

wow

i have an 8125 with WM6 but im not familiar with direct push...although i do get my gmail emails on my phone...can i do this?

You can still do it, but you would only get message notifications via email by checking your email. Direct push means that the server sends email to your phone without you needing to check it. Microsoft Exchange servers do direct push.
Callwave does offer SMS notification though, can't see why that wouldn't work.

There are some other features with Callwave, not sure how usefull they are, but they are interesting.
You can initiate a call from "in the middle" making both your cell and the destination ring, or home phone for that matter, you can also answer the call on your PC , with the paid service.
So not overly usefull but , some nice tech ...

but didnt older versions of wm5 have direct push? i recall something about that...and is htere any way to have direct push with wm6?

for some reason i could never sign up for a callwave account, i assume its cause I am in canada.
whenever i put my # in it tells me to input a valid mobile phone number

I'm all about writing a plug-in or app that will do for windows what AT&T and Aple are getting sued for on iPhone.
I'm driving myself batty trying to figure out how I can intercept the network signals from the carrier to the device which are used as a notification of new voicemail. From the patents I've read on the existing technolgy, it's possible to get everything but the message itself from the signal. I don't want to speek to soon, but there's an ID that's transmitted as part of this message it supposedly the "unique" on the message in YOUR VMail box.
If anyone has any tips on how I can intercept that message, even if you only know the protocol....that would be a huge help.
I've tried intercepting SMS already and left a VM for myself and NOTHING! I'm still playing with it though. I think that I maight have been watching for the wrong message types. I might need to trap for RAW (priority=0, for you regedit nuts out there)
Later,
-D

good stuff i have a wizard but i just set it up so i'm goin to check it out
should come in handy since i don't get all my calls sometimes

I gotta admit this is pretty damn cool so far..
Biggest plus is seeing missed calls when my phone is off and seeing block #'s
awesome thanks for the heads up

Haven't tried callwave yet but I've been using Simulsays visual voicemail on my 8525 for a while now.

Visual Voicemail App

Looking for suggestions on how to build a visual voicemail app, for instance at the moment I have mvisualvoicemail installed,it captures the information from my inbox and displays the number that called, the time and length of the voicemail and lets you play it (you have to set activesync to download the entire message). What it doesn't display is the transcripted text and that is what I'd like to have or create.
Here is what I know:
My provider sends my voicemail to spinvox, spinvox transcribes and sends me a wav attatchment and in the body there is a transcription of the voicemail.
It Looks like this:
FROM: <10digit Phone Numer>[[email protected]]
TO: [myemailadress]
Subject: "Voicemail for" [myphonenumber]
Attatchment: 001voicemail.wav
Body:
You have a new voice mail from ########## sent on YYY/mm/dd-hh:mm:ss.
The converted text is:
"converted text here"
To hear the message, dial in and press ##17.
The voicemail is attached. Spoken through SpinVox

there are other visual voicemail out there did you want to stick wit spinvox or would be willing to try something different i know youmail.com and callwave transcribe and can send the emails to you if you don't mind switching you might want to check those out i don't think callwave is free but if you want to try it out let me know i'll see if i can still do the free account thing

I am already a subscriber to spinvox which is through my carrier (Telus Canada), I get it for 7.50 unlimited so I am really looking for a solution to that service. Like I said in my previous post mvisualvoicemail works great for this it actually identifies which of my email are voicemail and only displays those however I would like an app that pulls in the transcripted version too, so I can be selective in which ones I want to listen to. I figured if a program like throttle launcher can pull in the header information and display it, it wouldn't be too hard to make an app that pulls the information from an emailed voicemail and displays it nicely for review. Maybe I'll post over in the throttlelauncher thread as a request for a plugin actually.
Spinvox apparently has an app for windows mobile in a private beta test but they will not allow subscribers who subscribe through their carrier partners to use it yet.

oh okay yea the plug in for throttle launcher sounds like it might be a good idea i wish some of the us carriers would pick up visual voicemail for there service too i'd like to switch to sprint so i could use sero but they don't have call forwarding so that takes out the use of callwave or youmail aww well hope the throttle launcher plugin helps
now that i'm thinkin about it the emails that you get do they have a certain wording in the subject line of the email because i know in pocket outlook if you start typing what your lookin for it will sort if you could get it to where it's kinda predefined to type a certain word could probably run a script that outputs the info
but then again after reading all i just right might not be what your lookin for it to do
sorry just tossing ideas out

[REQ] Visual Voicemail program (willing to pay!)

Hey everyone. For a long time now I have been waiting for someone to design a visual voicemail program for Windows Mobile. Unfortunately, it seems no one has been interested, which I find rather odd. There are a number of services available now that allow for customized voicemail storage, YouMail and Grand Central being the most popular. They also have the option to send a copy of the voicemail to your email with call details and the audio file as an attachment. I have been using YouMail to do this for the last year or so. Unfortunately, they don't offer a front-end for this. They have a mobile website page, but frankly I'm not impressed. What I have been hoping for is a program that will read the emails and parse out the appropriate information, and play the attachment. I have attached a picture of what I was envisioning. Anyone think they're up to the task of realizing this project?

Great idea, I myself would love to have this, it's one of the few things I miss from my old Treo. But, I don't know if it's possible to get info like the message time, caller name, and number. It would be a simple set of buttons that could be configured properly to choose an option.

Message time, caller name and number are all in the body of the email that is sent. It'd just be a simple matter of parsing the data correctly

i think the major issue no one has done it yet is because everyone uses some different service.
its not like ok all the iphone ATT people use X visual voicemail service and the vZW people have Y service. Youre talking about an interface for every possible service like grandcentral or those forwarding services- theres at least a dozen and they all use different audio formats and such.
The real issue is consolidation to please everyone, and devs dont want to put time into make niche programs for every possible service.

That's true, but the thing about that is that a) there are only a few voicemail services out there, and only a couple that a lot of people use (YouMail, GrandCentral, SpinVox, and b) in order for a program to support all of them, the only thing you would have to change would be to tell the program which email format you are looking at. In other words, you'd only have to specify the parsing format, which would be a relatively simple and short section of the code that could be specified in settings. Also, they don't all use different audio formats, they use standard ones which would all be played by the same standard API call, so that's not an issue either. Anyway, hopefully this thread piques somebody's interest.

The email that you get from YouMail or GrandCentral or whatever voicemail service you're using (the email that has the audio as an attachment).

Did they just release a new update or something? I tried mVisualVoicemail and it didn't parse the YouMail emails correctly and also didn't play the .mp3 attachments.

Unless they have a UK # to forward to I wouldn't think so...the forwarding # is USA based and since it uses conditional call forwarding rates you'd be paying international minutes.

i've been using callwave for my visual voicemail with att this before they started making you pay i just gotta email sayin that there goin to end the beta program so i'm thinkin about switch back to youmail one think i don't like is that youmail doesnt automatically update after you recieve a new message
but the developers are working on it

I'm not sure how you're saying that. It does the name sometimes, but not when the call was, or the duration of the call, or anything else like that, and as you mentioned, it doesn't play .mp3s so all together it's hardly a sufficient solution. Is there anyone here interested in developing a working solution?

Visual voicemail

Youmail has a new beta for visual voicemail with the caller id picture and all.
the also have a beta for voicemail transcription which personally i like better than visual voicemail (when it is accurate ) Its send you a text message after the voivemail is received and transcribed to text.
Its got alot more cool features just check them out on the website.... just thought you guys might be interested.
Its all free check it out at WWW.YOUMAIL.COM

seems your provider will still charge u for fowarding calls

at&t hasn't charged me for forwarding
I've been using YouMail for quite a while and am very pleased with it. It will suck hard when they come out of beta. I still haven't recovered completely from losing just about all of my Jott functionality.
The only thing I'd like is to be able to assign a button, either soft or hardware, to take me right to YouMail, instead of having to open a browser first. Anyone that can clue me in?

I think you could Create a .lnk file containg the browser and then i'm sure you could include a browser command (url link) to direct you to the website automatically. you would then just have to create a registry string for it and place it in the corresponding folder......
I'll do some looking around and see what i can find.
for now though you could just set it as your homepage and then when you open the browser it is already there

Thanks for responding,
It stays at the top of my favorites page in SPB MS, so its like 4 taps to get to it from the Now screen.
Not terrible at all, but I've always wanted a way to get to IE favorites directly from the Today screen, or have them available the same way the MRU programs are. I appreciate you looking into it.

I left youmail
http://www.fusionvoicemailplus.com/
http://www.phonefusion.com/
http://mobilitytoday.com/news/009092...n_voicemail_g1
I used youmail for a while, but I was annoyed at a couple things, mostly that I have to download the email on my phone and then download the file, but still a good service.
I found the service above which is close to the same, except it actually is a .cab and the app is launched by the incoming txt and the messages are in a single screen. You can set to download automatically, and that way the app comes up and you can click directly to listen, basically 1 click because it comes up as a notification, like a missed call notification. Pretty cool.
They just came out with a version for the G1 Android that you can see the review on the mobility link, and the others are the main company and the top one is the voicemail. It's pretty easy to set up, and you can try and go back to youmail if it doesn't fit your needs. Also, you can change your greeting on this service, just call the number from your handset once you're set up online.

looks cool but phone fusion says it isn't free......
fusion voicemail plus says it is though?
which one are you using

Free Version
http://www.fusionvoicemailplus.com/
This one is free. I started trying it this morning and I'm pretty happy with it. Your minutes are used, just like on youmail.

What I like about youmail is I can forward my email right to text and I never have to listen to VM. Looks like with phone fusion I only get caller ID info not the messages in the text. Is that right?
-McMex

ya.... but it gives you the "iphone" visual voicemail experience
just a little different setup

No Txt I know of
Correct McMex,
Youmail you get txt to read, but not in Fusion, at least not for free, and I didn't really review any other services from them . Txt just hasn't worked well for me on Youmail because it all looks jarbled, if it does for you that's great. Just another option to look at.

Youmail is working better these days. I have tried many of these services, and youmail is the cheapest, but I wouldnt say the best.

Thanks yes right now with youmail I get an email sent then forward the email and there is a lot of junk around the message in the text. I still prefer that to listening to VM. Thanks for the info guys.
-McMex

i was grandfathered in from the beta so i get the text for free so its not a bad deal for me

I just started using YouMail as it doesn't require me to have an unlimited txt plan. Does Fusion require sms? I have it, but only a 200/month plan. I'm not thrilled about the idea of upgrading my sms plan just for a better voicemail.

visual voicemail apk verizon note 3

I recently rooted with kingo and installed safestrap and flashed jellybeans rom for my Verizon note 3. My visual voicemail app is gone and was wondering if anyone has a link for it? I have been searching endlessly and cant find it. this rom is super sweet but I do enjoy my visual voicemail app which was said to not be removed. thanks for any help guys. (no I didn't back up my stock rom so cant get it from there)
if you have any question about the rom I flashed let me know. customization to the max!!!

I don't even have the capibilities to get Visual Voice mail.
Why would that even be possible? I have a smart phone, I want a program to manage my voice mails, not a phone system that's 100 years old.
Is there a way to get free VVM? do i just call in and enable it?
Also, idk if its just me, but I don't get actual notifications.
Facebook doesnt even tell me" You have a new notification" it just has the badge.
For EVEYR OTHER app I have no matter what it is, it just says that: "You have a new Message, Unread email, Notification" but not the content of the notification.
What am I missing here?
I though Android was better than iOS

If your gonna start saying stuff implying that ios is better without first figuring out how to work your phone then gtho and buy an iSheep

I tried it on MJ7 and it didn't function. It did install correctly, though (Hmmm. I didn't have TiBu for this device; crap I can't remember if I was able to DL it from the market or if I grabbed the .apk from a different device)
The pre-installed (Touchwiz?) Voicemail app seems to work exactly the same way - voice messages are locally cached onto your phone. (No evidence of a 3G/4G call in progress when you "listen to a voicemail".)
Hmmm. I think I am being billed by Big Red a couple bux/mo for the "privilege" of using that app. Mebbe I should call them.

beanstown106 SHOULD HAVE PROVISIONED FOR THIS!
Yeah, so now that a service I pay for is now "eliminated from the OS", and there seems to be no .apk that will be available...

lol There is no "extraneous crap" that comes along with Google voice... I've literally been using it ONLY for visual voice mail for like 4 years now, and I couldn't live without it (it's very easy to disable using it for calls or sms).
I don't know how Verizon's VVM works (it's probably crap), but the best thing about GV is that it's very neatly integrated into android. When I miss a call and get a VM, I tap on the notification and the VM plays. Easy peasy. It's also accessible directly from the call log.
Not only that, you can set it to have Google email you a transcription of every VM. It's not always 100% accurate, but if I'm in a meeting or busy, I can get the general idea of what the message is about without even putting the phone to my ear. It's indispensable and FREE. Stop being stubborn... do yourself a favor and get it.

All I want is to be able to use my VISUAL VOICEMAIL. I don't need all the other extraneous crap that comes along with Google Voice.
HELP!!!

DID you go to the playstore and search specifically for Verizon's Visual Voicemail...
I think all the carriers have their version at the playstore... I'm just saying!!!
