i got this email this morning



Did you sign up with YouMail only to find out Sprint charges 20c/minute for call forwarding? And even worse � you had to call Sprint customer support to set it up?
GREAT News! Sprint has removed those pesky per minute call forwarding charges and no longer requires technical support to enable call forwarding. Hurray!

yes, i called sprint to cancel it and he told me that youmail needs to fix things because we are still being charged for forwarding. i got about 12 charges today alone when i redownloaded youmail.. i was so excited to use it, but it's STILL not free, actually.

[cjmjmm2006]

I got an email saying it is free on my tour... =/ better call Sprint to confirm, I don't want my "simply everything, but!" plan to charge me...

I spoke with my sprint rep today and conditional forwarding IS now free as of Nov 8th..today. A lot of the reps don't know about it yet. And didn't know it was going to happen. Make sure they take off any charges you guys receive.

Yes!! I can't wait to download and play with it after the kids go to bed.

whats youmail?

[Nucleartx]

Just used Google voice on it. Works great, great transcription.

Edit: After 3 hours, no charges have shown up on OLAM.

[SplinterCell]

Got the same e-Mail and set/up this time was easy, just did the *28; no tech support was needed (unlike before), so I'm going to roll with it! If I get charged 20� a minute, I will shoot my BlackBerry 15 times in the screen and switch back to U.S. Cell.

I doubt YouMail would send out the e-Mail they sent us, if it were BS.


YouMail works great this time,
Chris

We recently sent out an e-mail that YouMail is free to Sprint users because Sprint dropped call forwarding charges.We need to clarify.

First, Sprint is dropping �conditional call forwarding� charges � charges for calls are forwarded when they are busy or unanswered. This is the conditional call forwarding that YouMail users need, so it�s good news.

However:

� As Sprint has announced officially, this will be happening in mid-November. However, the exact date has not been finalized or announced by Sprint.
� Sprint is making no changes to immediate/unconditional call forwarding (which uses *72 on the handset to set up) - this usage will continue to cost 20c/minute. Second, the special dialing codes for turning on conditional call forwarding, like *28, may work now from your handset, but they are not officially guaranteed to work until mid-November. If it doesn�t work on your handset, please do not call or contact Sprint customer care, but wait for the follow up from YouMail when the final announcement by Sprint is made.

We�re excited Sprint is making this change � perhaps too excited, since we have jumped the gun with our announcement. We�re sorry for any inconvenience that this has caused.Regards,AlexCEO, YouMail

This great...

I'll take your word on the transcription, seeing as how they don't tell you that part cost $ until you try using it

I'm excited about setting up a personal greeting for different people, and how I can clear the icon without checking my voicemail while I'm at work. When people feel it necessary to leave me a message that I could do without hearing.

I just received that e-Mail as well. *28 did work for me, so I'm going to hold off on smoking my BlackBerry for now. I assume if *28 did not work for me than the new/changed service would not be ready in my area?


Still confusing,
Chis

I got the same email this morning when i got up

[eye4ni]

Google voice user here, just setup my conditional call forwarding to go to my GV number, but when calls go to voicemail, there is a clicking/beeping noise for the caller as they hear my greeting... are YouMail users having this issue at all?

[shalea#IM]

Youmail Newb: So your busy/no answer calls are forwarded to Youmail instead of traditional voicemail. But can be read via text or email. You also have the option of assigning specific greetings for specific callers - husband, kids, etc.

And thus far, all of this is FREE for Sprint customers. Has this statemetn been officially released that there is no charge for this service? They mentioned mid-November.

If I d/l the Visual Voicemail Plus from BB App world, will I still have access to the free services after the 7-day Plus trial fromthe same link?

FYI - the Blocking feature sounds pretty cool "the number is no longer in service..." lol

Thanks for helping me understand the purpose of this service.

[david122575]

Please let me know when this becomes official. thx.

[J Antonio]

Please let me know when this becomes official. thx.

Like a referee with a whistle.

[david122575]

[avacomputers]

It's Official. I spoke to a rep and she confirmed it's free.

I spoke w/a rep yesterday in text chat and she confirmed that it was free. I also saved the conversation as evidence so that Sprint will not later charge me for this service. *73, *74, & *28 are all free. However *72 (immediate forwarding) is still $0.20/min. I'm settin up my YouMail today.

[riceastwood]

Wow can't wait to try this out. Thanx Just for your info keep us all updated if Sprint tries something being that you saved that conversation with sprint. Let me guess Jessica right hahahahahaha
