I’m with you on this one. It costs and if you would like to read the caller’s message, there’s a fee. (Expensive per month)
Why not go “free” for the same features.

How can that be true if it works for Bold users who are not in a 3G area? I am not in a 3G area, but have VVM working on my device.

This feature only works on the 3G network, meaning only the Bold will get it, at least for ATT

Anyone know how storage is handled in RIM’s vis. vm app? I’ve got YouMail and have been happy to have the option to store incoming VM directly to my microSD. Are VM messages available online as well (like YouMail)?

if you miss visual voice mail, check out youmail. i’ve been using it since Dec, and love that it not only shows the numbe but does a reverse whitepages look-up and gives me the name if available, and it’s free.

Have an eye on my site.. there’s a fresh bold around the corner .226 to be expected. As usual, no guarantee.. but.. well it looks pretty much like that.

@Conrad:
Can you actually USE Google? Come on, there’s dozens of places to find how to upgrade the OS on a Blackberry. The comments on a blog post ain’t where you should be looking.

I’m sorry but the Curve 8900 better get this feature too! I have YouMail on my 8320 and with the added VyMail app it’s pretty cool! RIM will drop the ball big time if only the Bold get’s Visual Voicemail. I thought for a long time that RIM should buy YouMail as it complements a BlackBerry so very well.

I got a little excited about the new os, but after reading a few forums I think I’m going to wait. Read a lot about the battery draining more than .217, media player bug still exist, and looks like everyone is getting the visual voicemail not provisioned error. I will wait until it’s officially released and do a wireless update.

so once i install 219, whats the next step to get it to work? i see the provisioning screen.

@ BKR

Google man, google. These things are pretty widely available if you take the time to look.

How do I get .219 for my AT&T BlackBerry? I tried the wireless upgrade function on my Bold, but no dice. Is there a link that I can access and download? Thanks in advance.

Do any of the bb ninjas have a leak they would like to share. Those who passed on the storm are waiting for a upgrade to our 8830 and 8330’s…

BGR a little help to get us through the cold winter months…

Seeing as how I have had my Bold since the day before christmas and have not set up my voicemail box because of problems, I am happy to see this coming. Especially since I came from the iPhone and got used to it.

@ justin cauchon

You said google for .219. Can I down load directly to my Bold or do I have to bootcamp my iMac to mt windows xp and my BlackBerry desktop ap to get it?

Hopefully third party providers will be able to use this as well. Looks slick.

Does anyone know if rogers has any plans for this vvm?

By: Mishal

Yeah, but some of us want the official att released version. I’m not too thrilled with youmail.

By: ShadyManny

ShadyManny — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 03:31:06 +0000

Guys guys, you can visual voicemail on all your BB devices. Sign up for youmail then download the vymail app from joekrill.com.

Search 4.6.0.219 on google. I am sure you will find a download link very easily.

Jeffrey S. Google is your friend to find os .219. I’m still on .167 as well.
