I'm not sure if this goes in this section or not, but I wanted to see if anyone has used both apps, and which they prefer and why? We were Alltel customers and changed to a Verizon plan, but we're still not eligable for Visual Voice Mail until our area is converted....so I was wondering how the 2 compared.
I've used both apps, and I would go with the Google Voice mailbox. The best part is the voice transcription. I have the option to get the voice messages emailed to me, and the BLackberry App for Google voice is pretty easy to access them too... And It's free.

Thanks for the response. Did you have any issues using the Google Voice on Verizon? I've tried youmail and when I tried to download the app, I got a msg saying something like "this app is not available for your device on your carrier"..
I was able to download Youmail through App World; But you are using a Tour, I am using an S2.. I'll check compatibility
Google Voice is still by invite only; so if you have a friend that has it, have them invite you, otherwise Google will get that invite out to you in 3-6 months. lol
Try going into your browser options, general options, and change emmulation mode to Firefox. Then close the browser, reopen it and go to Youmail.com to download the app.
it looks like when you try to download it through the youmail site, it refers you back to appworld.
Thanks for the suggestion though. I'll just pout until i get my google voice invite or my verizon visual voicemail becomes available.
**OH WAIT!! I logged onto m.youmail.com and there was an option to download it there...it said my OS wasn't supported, but it's letting me download it anyway, so I'll see what happens. WOHOO....
Well, it works, but the transcription costs...that's the part I was wanting. bummer..Google voice, here I wait...lol
