    Default Voicemail for BB10 like Iphone's?

    When I switched from iphone 5 to galaxy s3 I really, really missed the visual voicemail iphone had. Now that I've sold my S3 and am getting the Z10 I was hoping I could have this feature back. I can't find anything specific though. Does anyone know? I'll be with Telus but can easily switch if either Bell or Rogers has something.

    If the Z10 supports it, Telus doesn't seem to have it. But the iPhone seems to be the only phone they offer with Visual Voicemail, rather annoyingly.

    I think the iPhone is the only phone that supports it out of the box.

    But it's possible your carrier can add that option in the future like they do with Android phones. I know my carrier (Verizon) has a visual voicemail app for previous BlackBerry and Android phones.

    My 9900 is capable, but AT&T charges extra for it.

    Maybe it's the plan you have, but VV is an upgrade for me which I have no use for.

    Had visual voice mail on my 9000, then 9800, now my 9810 all on AT&T with no charge...
    Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.

    You could always do what I've done for years and use Google Voice as your Voicemail client. Even if people don't call your GV number you can still have it set up as your default voicemail.

    Looks like Bell has visual voicemail, Telus and Rogers no. Correct me if I'm wrong. Its a no brainer for me - l need visual voicemail. I positively hate voicemail to text.

    all android and ios devices support this out of the box. with google voice on android it even shows your voicemails to you right in the call history, i hope this feature exists on bb10 as i'm eager to purchase a z10 in the US but the features i'll be losing moving from android are slowly piling up.

    Windows Phone also support visual voicemail out the box. In the UK, the carriers only seem to enable it for iPhone (and not all of them!) Vodafone are doing it for iPhone soon, and WP after that. I've not heard of plans for BB yet. Probably costs carriers infrastructure.

    My 9800 had VVM installed and running "out of the box" as well.

    Rogers told me today after i called them and they told me it was a minor (Major) Oversite and they will be added in a os update coming very soon. So for now No rogers visual voicemail. For anybody who has not used it on the os 7.1 it was fantastic better than iOS because it not only gave you the list of voice mails to listen too it also transcribed the voicemail to text and was super easy to forward or print. Lets hope it going to be simular to what it was like before.

    AT&T supports VVM out of the box on BB10 you just need to set it up

    Posted using CrackBerry App on BB10
    Before BB10 = BIS sucks! - After BB10 = BIS is the greatest thing BlackBerry ever had
    Before BB10 = BlackBerry OS sucks! - After BB10 = Bring back BBOS.
    Why can't we make our minds up?

    i don't really know why a carrier needs to "support" it, it's not a feature that you need from your carrier to get working on android. it just forwards to your google voice number which is your voicemail and syncs with your phone. the functionality is identical, and more powerful than using something the carrier provides you with. been using it for years on android with tmobile and att, never had to deal with it as a feature from the carrier.

    1) The visual voicemail feature is available through Google Voice, not Android per se.
    2) those voice mails, and their transcriptions are available to any phone either through the GV app or by setting it to text/email you the transcription and voice clip.
    3) As for integration with the dialer, that was a cool feature on my Nexus 4, but then again, that's Google integrating their own voicemail client with their phone.
    4) The visual voicemail on the 9900 also transcribed the audio and was in the call list, so it was the exact same thing.
