So, I kinda got over the virtual VM. Its ok and all, but I wasn't that impressed. I'm trying youmail.com's voice mail and its pretty cool. Sends text transcripts of messages.
Its not 100% accurate, but so far, I've been able to decipher this.
I didn't care for youmail and think VVM is far superior. I had Youmail for two weeks and it didn't always connect, lost a few messages & overall was very buggy. I need to get my VMs quickly and so far VVM has been reliable. I'll pay $3/month and keep my fingers crossed that VVM stays that way for me.
I've been on YouMail since they first started the service... I am thoroughly happy with it and never even considered the Visual Voicemail because it pales in comparison.

I'll go to VVM when it becomes free (I give it a year or so)....till then I'll be a YouMail user....love that you can block numbers and send them to a greeting that tells them to stop calling if you want.
Forwarding calls is free unless you're on sprint myster1ous.
I love Youmail, and you really don't need the launcher if you have it set to text you when you receive voicemails. It works the same way, and is actually a little faster.
On the YouMail Mobile SignIn page there is a link to the shortcut application. Using your BlackBerry device, follow the link and download/install the application. When the install is completed you will find the shortcut application in the Applications folder. It will be display as a small YouMail icon. Clicking it will take you directly to your YouMail Mobile home page, or the SignIn page if your are not already signed-in.
You can move the application to some place other than the Applications folder by selecting it using the trackball, then selecting the Menu button. Now use the trackball, navigate to where you want to place the shortcut and drop it in it's new location by pressing the center of the trackball. We recommend the top of the main screen so it's always easily accessible. :-)
