What is Visual Voicemail? I've never heard of it on the iPhone or any other phone.

it displays your voicemails on the screeen, like who called, how long it is. so u dont have to call a number and go thru all ur messages.

If that's it, it isn't a service we should have to pay for. Although Verizon has the best network and coverage, their pricing really drags it down.

don't worry, eventually they will free it up. not many people remember but that vcast music identifier thing cost 99 cents at its initial release. But after about 2 days they realized it was not worth it, and decided to make it free. I'm betting verizon will do it for this app as well. No one is going to pay for it, and then verizon will realize the only way people will verizon give recognition for having visual voicemail would be if they let everyone have it. it should be more a perk for the phone than a costly add on.

i'm actually confused how this has be a nationality/laziness issue. Its a feature that is a perk, plain and simple. If you can explain to me how visual voicemail contributes to being a "fat lazy American" I'd be willing to listen. But until then, feel free to remain on your pedestal. Seacrest out.

I don't really see this as a nationality issue either ... Sometimes you end up with maybe 10 voicemails before being able to check them, and sitting there waiting for the lady to read the time, date, length, phone number, whether I want to keep for 7 or 21 days, wastes time, battery life .. and charges me more airtime. Since when is it a crime to innovate ..

Hey 12, visual voice mail was invented for customers like you. That way I don't have to waste time that I'll never get back listening to you cheap ass bitch about everything and anything. Where does it say that you have to get it? Its an add on. All I hear and read is how people bitch about the rising cost of cellphones and service. Since when have you ever seen a non profit sign next to any cellphone carrier? I have never seen or heard of a business plan that is not structured to make money. Do you think all those network upgrades and new towers going up are free? How about the cost of the phones that the carriers have to pay? They don't get them for free either unlike you the customer. Didn't mean to get on a rant there but cheap customers piss me off..

1.99. Wow. Waaa. Having to skip the whole holding 1 down and listening to your voicemail makes it lazy. Yeah other companies are not charging for it and I'm sure VZW will eventually follow but it is at least an option now. They didn't say you HAD to have it.www.youmail.com if you really can't stant forking out less than half a gallon gas for the feature. (I've no relation to comment#12 btw) Verizon is pricy because it is number one, hands down. That is from an unbiased former sprint tmobile and att customer. When you buy a Lexus or BMW is it the cheapest? Nay. Is it the best? Indeed.

Everybody is complaining that Alltel is getting bought out by Verizon. They're like, I'm mad because Verizon is too expensive and Alltel was nice and cheap...well I say, you get what you pay for...Alltel was cheap therefore they're getting aquired because they don't have money, they have debts, and aren't gaining alot of customers. Verizon Wireless is the "Lexus/BMW" carrier! And its not just carriers, anything you buy the price tag usually has to do with quality (unless its Nextel haha). I had Alltel before, and I can tell you from experience that sometimes spending a little extra money is worth it, I switched back to Verizon Wireless because I wanted a network that works! And if spending just a little more for phone service is going to break your wallet, then maybe you don't need phone service anyway, go look for a better job.

I am a VZW customer...but I don't understand why everyone gets so defensive when a bad remark is made against VZW. Lets say I work at PizaaHut (hypothetical), tell me PizzaHut's pizza sucks all you want. I don't care, its not like it is a personal attack.

VZW's customers taking pride in their company is a testament to it's reliabiliy. When you are trruely blown away, you talk about it. ALL sprint customers say sprint sucks. Sucks so bad they are blown away. ALL VZW customers say VZW rocks. Rocks so hard they are blown away. Meanwhile AT&T and T-mobile customers stand on the sidelines with their mouths shut. They are content. Happy maybe. But not blown away.
